Salmon with Balsamic Cherry Sauce
Serves 2
Here is what you need:
2 6 to 8 ounce salmon filets, skinless
1 cup whole cherries
1 TBS lemon juice and a tsp of zest
1 TBS balsamic vinegar
1 tsp honey or more if needed
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Here is what you need to do:
Remove the pits from the cherries. (Watch my Instagram video to see how, 1055online.)
In a sauce pan mix the vinegar, lemon, honey and a pinch of salt. Add in the cherries and coat with the sauce. Heat over medium temperature for at least 10 minutes. I like my cherries pretty soft so I go a little longer.
Make sure you taste the sauce! I added a little extra honey and salt.
Heat both oils in a sauté pan to medium high. Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper. Fry the salmon for about 3 minutes a side. I like my salmon slightly underdone. It will also depend on how thick the salmon is.
Plate up the salmon and spoon the sauce over it. I served it with Jasmine rice. Let’s Eat!!
