    Succulent Salmon With Caramelized Onions

    How to Make Succulent Salmon With Caramelized Onions

    Aviva Goldfarb says: My friend and neighbor Christine Dallaire shared this awesome recipe. You can serve it for an elegant dinner party or a special family dinner. Serve with cooked farro and Green Beans With Lemon and Garlic. Flavor Boosters: Double the dill and add 1/4 tsp salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning to the spice blend. Serve the salmon with fresh lemon wedges.


    15 min prep time


    20 min cook time


    4servings


    3 oz salmon, 2 Tbsp onions

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy ovenproof skillet over medium heat, and add the onions. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden.
    2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the ginger, dill, salt, and pepper; set aside. Top the onions with the lemon slices and then the salmon, and top the salmon evenly with the spices. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook the salmon for about 20 minutes, until it is cooked through. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Green Beans With Lemon and Garlic make a great side dish for the salmon.
    3. Slow Cooker Directions: Cut the salmon fillet into pieces that will fit into the slow cooker. Combine the onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place each piece of salmon onto a separate piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold into a packet. Sprinkle the spices evenly over the salmon pieces and top with lemon slices. Fold the foil into a packet, and place the packets into the slow cooker on top of the onions, stacking as needed. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours (for thinner fillets check for doneness sooner). Remove the salmon from the packets, then top with the onions before serving.

    How to Make Spiced Turkey Breast With Apple Chutney


    20 min prep time


    1 hr 15 min cook time


    16servings


    3 oz. turkey, 2 Tbsp. chutney

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pat the turkey breast dry and place on a rack set in a shallow roasting pan. Loosen the skin by inserting your fingers, gently pushing between the skin and the meat. 
    2. In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, 2 tsp of the ginger, 1 tsp of the cinnamon, 1 tsp of the cloves, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture on the breast meat, under the skin. Insert a meat thermometer into the meaty part of the breast, making sure it doesn’t touch the breastbone. Roast the breast uncovered for about 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until the meat thermometer registers 170 degrees. Check the turkey every 15 minutes or so as it roasts to avoid any overbrowning. Cover with foil if the breast meat starts to get too brown. After 30 minutes of roasting, you may also lower the oven to 350 degrees if the turkey is cooking too quickly. 
    3. Meanwhile, prepare the chutney. In a saucepan, combine the red onion, brown sugar, rice vinegar, raisins, remaining 1/2 tsp ginger, remaining 1/4 tsp cinnamon, remaining 1/4 tsp cloves, and crushed red pepper, and bring to boiling. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool for 10 minutes. Fold in the apples.
    4. Remove the turkey breast to a platter and let it stand, loosely covered with foil, for about 10 minutes before serving. 
    5. To serve, slice the turkey, discard the skin, and serve with the chutney. Store the remaining 1 cup chutney, covered, in the refrigerator for up to three days.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Coat a grill rack from an outdoor gas grill with cooking spray and set it 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the grill to medium high. If you think your shrimp will fall through the grilling rack, prepare a fish basket to grill the shrimp. Coat the inside of the basket with cooking spray.
    2. Drizzle the shrimp with the olive oil. Combine the cumin, chili powder, coriander, salt, and black pepper and rub onto the shrimp.
    3. Add the shrimp directly to the grill rack or place in a single layer in the fish basket. Grill the shrimp for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Meanwhile, add the lemon halves, cut side down, to the grill, and grill for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the lemon is slightly charred.
    4. Add the grilled shrimp to a platter. Garnish with the grilled lemon halves and minced parsley.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper and sauté for 6 to 7 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.

    2. Add the marinara sauce, cayenne, and black pepper. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

    3. Using the back of a spoon, make 4 indentations, spaced out from each other, in the sauce. Gently crack an egg into each indentation. Cover the pan and let the eggs cook until set but still soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle the basil leaves over the mixture in the skillet, cover, and cook for 1 minute. The eggs should be set, not runny.

    4. Spoon 1 egg and 1/2 cup of sauce over each slice of the toasted bread to serve.
