Ingredients
- 5 salmon fillets
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 2 limes (juice and zest)
- 1 cup corn (fresh or canned)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the cranberry juice, juice and zest of the limes, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Sauté the Onion: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cook the Corn: Add the corn to the skillet with the onions and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. In the same skillet, push the corn and onions to the side and add the salmon fillets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Glaze the Salmon: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the salmon during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to reduce slightly and coat the fish.
- Serve: Plate the salmon on a bed of the sautéed corn and onion mixture. Drizzle with any remaining glaze from the skillet and garnish with fresh herbs.
