Ingredients
- 5 salmon fillets (about 150g each)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 2 limes (zest and juice)
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh coriander or parsley for garnish (optional)
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 to taste.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Corn: In a medium saucepan, 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 3-4 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Make the Glaze: In the same skillet, add the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer. Let it reduce for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Serve: On each plate, place a portion of the corn mixture, top with a salmon fillet, and drizzle with the cranberry-lime glaze. Garnish with fresh coriander or parsley if desired.
This zesty salmon dish is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavors that dance on your palate. It's a wonderful way to enjoy the freshness of ingredients while creating a comforting meal that everyone will love. Enjoy!
