Fresh Fig Topped Teriyaki Salmon Recipes

SALMON WRAPPED IN FIG LEAVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Drizzle salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each piece of salmon in a fig leaf and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Place olive oil in a spray bottle and spray kale with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place kale on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until kale is crispy, about 8 minutes. Divide kale evenly between 4 plates. Unwrap salmon and serve immediately on fig leaves with kale.

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH FRESH FIG AND BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
• While the pasta is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add figs and saute in melted butter until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, chicken stock, honey, and thyme; bring to a simmer. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Lower heat and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, season salmon with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and sear both sides in the hot skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes.
• Divide pasta between two plates. Top with salmon fillets and pour equal amounts of reduction over each dish.
