Ingredients
- 5 salmon fillets (about 150g each)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 250 ml cranberry juice
- Zest and juice of 2 limes
- 300 g corn (fresh or frozen)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 5 tablespoons pesto
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the cranberry juice, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in this marinade and let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Corn Medley: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the corn and cook for another 5-7 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Glaze the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the liquid. Place the fillets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spread a tablespoon of pesto over each fillet, then drizzle with a little of the reserved marinade.
- Bake the Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: On each plate, place a generous scoop of the corn medley, followed by a salmon fillet. Drizzle with any remaining cranberry marinade for added flavor.
