ALMOST AUNT SANDY'S SWEET AND SOUR SALMON

Almost Aunt Sandy's Sweet and Sour Salmon image

All my other relatives served gefilte fish at holiday meals, but not Aunt Sandy. Instead of breaking the fast on Yom Kippur with gefilte fish, kugel and bagels and lox, she made potage Parmentier, pesto pasta salad and, her masterpiece, sweet and sour fish in a shimmering aspic. In my version, I reduced sugar and substituted balsamic for the sharper wine vinegar. I added raisins and sliced lemons, an idea stolen from a similar recipe I found online. I eliminated the peppercorns, which were unpleasant to crunch, adding aromatic thyme instead. Finally, because I didn't want aspic, I substituted prepared fish broth for the mess of boiling bones. The broth was light and refreshing with a gentle acidity that was balanced by the sweetness of the raisins. And the fish was succulent and rich and suffused with flavor.

Ingredients

6 cups fish broth
3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 bay leaf
Salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 bunch thyme
8 center-cut skin-on wild salmon fillets, 3 ounces each
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Challah, for serving

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pot, simmer fish broth with garlic, bay leaf and salt for 15 minutes.
In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, scatter red onion and half of the thyme. Place salmon on top, skin side down, and season with salt and pepper. Scatter remaining thyme, raisins and lemon on top.
Stir vinegar and sugar into broth and let simmer for 1 minute to dissolve sugar. Remove garlic and bay leaf from broth; carefully pour broth over fish. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until fish is just cooked through to taste. Serve hot, warm or cold, with challah for dipping into broth.

This tastes better the second day and is good for potlucks. I buy a variety of colored peppers in bulk, slice and freeze them, then pull out the amount when needed.

Tips:

To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, use a thick piece of fish, at least 1-inch thick.
If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a large skillet instead. Just make sure the skillet is oven-safe.
To make the sauce, you can use either bottled sweet and sour sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use a good quality soy sauce and rice vinegar.
If you like a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the sauce before simmering. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the salmon with steamed rice or noodles.

Conclusion:
