Upstream Salmon
Ingredients:
Salmon is considered healthy, but for some of us is not as appealing as other kinds of fish. Copper River is the best tasting in my book, but that is only available once a year and can be pricey. Here's my spin:
- Salmon filets, number as needed
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire or soy sauce
- Fresh lemon or lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Up to 1 tablespoon chili powder per filet, to taste
- Up to 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Fresh fennel bulb, sliced
- 1 or more fresh shallots, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Frontier® juniper berries
- Couple tablespoons olive oil
Preparation:
Rinse the filets and pat dry. Place in shallow baking pan lined with foil. Marinate in fridge for a couple of hours in Worcestershire sauce or your favorite soy sauce. Remove from fridge. Do a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Add salt and pepper. Rub both sides with chili powder and brown sugar. Surround the salmon with slices of fresh fennel and sliced shallots. Sprinkle with a handful of juniper berries. Squeeze more citrus juice on the fennel, then splash with olive oil and salt. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes, less if you prefer it rare. Thickness of filet will affect baking time. Remove and serve immediately with your favorite side.
