Onion Salmon Recipes

SPICY SALMON WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine the black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil to make a paste. Spread the paste all over the salmon fillets, and set aside to marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Heat a separate non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon fillets in the hot skillet until golden brown on each side, and no longer translucent in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Pour the browned onions and olive oil over the salmon fillets to serve.

GRIDDLED SALMON WITH SPRING ONION DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the dressing, chop the spring onions as finely as possible without them turning to mush. Tip into a bowl with the parsley and chilli. Drizzle in the oil, stirring until the ingredients are just bound, then stir in the lemon juice and vinegar. Season with salt and set aside.
• Heat the griddle until hot and brush the salmon with a little oil. Cook the salmon fillets for 4 mins on each side until just cooked through. Serve on a platter with the dressing for spooning over and lemon wedges with a bowl of watercress salad for everyone to help themselves.
