Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Salmon 2 filets (5 ounces each)
- 1 cup Cranberries frozen then thawed
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Orange Juice
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Rosemary
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Cranberries extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Add the 1 cup of cranberries, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, maple syrup and pulse two or three times in a blender or food processor to make the glaze so that there are chunks of cranberries still in glaze. Measure 1/4 cup of the glaze and set aside.
- Using a cast iron skillet, spread 3/4 cup of the glaze on the bottom of the pan in an even layer reserving the 1/4 cup you set aside for the top of the salmon.
- Add the salmon to the cast iron skillet. Lightly spray each salmon fillet with a touch of olive oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon the reserved 1/4 cup of cranberry glaze on top of the salmon then add the rosemary. Add the 2 tablespoons of extra cranberries on top of each salmon filet.
- Bake in the oven at 350 F 18-20 minutes. Turn the oven off and turn the broiler on high. Broil 2-3 minutes until glaze is thick and the salmon is flaky.
- Carefully remove from the oven and serve with your favorite vegetables with a side of wild rice or quinoa.
