Salmon With Spiced Eggplant Broth Recipes

SALMON WITH SPICED EGGPLANT BROTH

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette: Combine the shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Set aside.
• To make the eggplant broth: Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Remove and discard. Add eggplant, onion and carrot and saute over high heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar and simmer until it glazes the pan. Add chicken or vegetable broth and oregano. Simmer until reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, about 30 minutes. Strain. Set aside.
• Prepare the grill. Heat the oil in a seasoned cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the artichokes and carrots and saute, stirring constantly, until seared, about 3 minutes. Add the eggplant broth, salt, pepper, shallots and currants. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Pour broth into a saucepan and simmer. While the broth is simmering, grill the salmon over hot coals until medium rare, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour 1/4 of the broth into each of four bowls. Add the salmon and top with the vegetables. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and garnish with parsley.
