    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.

    Strawberries With Balsamic Glaze, Black Pepper, and Tarragon

    How to Make Strawberries With Balsamic Glaze, Black Pepper, and Tarragon

    Balsamic vinegar and black pepper may seem like odd additions to strawberries, but your taste buds will be delighted! The acidity of balsamic glaze, which is just concentrated balsamic vinegar, brings out the sweetness of the strawberries, while the black pepper adds a touch of heat. These strawberries are great on their own, or use them to top vanilla yogurt. Or, serve on top of a bed of spinach as a side dish with dinner.
