SALMON FILLET WITH CARAMELISED ONION



Salmon Fillet With Caramelised Onion image

This salmon recipe has a great end result and we love what the caramelised onion brings to the dish . It is not hard to make or too time consuming, the main time is spent caramelising the onion and reducing it down. I served ours with seasoned potato chips and asparagus for a great tasting healthy meal.

Tips:

  • To select the freshest salmon, look for firm, brightly colored flesh and avoid any fish with a slimy or dull appearance.
  • When caramelizing onions, use a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat and stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute vegetable broth or water.
  • Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it will become dry and tough. Cook until the fish is just opaque in the center.
  • Serve the salmon immediately with the caramelized onions and your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Spicy Salmon with Caramelized Onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the caramelized onions add a sweet and savory flavor that complements the fish beautifully. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
