Holiday Glazed Salmon with Cranberry-Pineapple Relish 🎄🐟
Ingredients:
For the salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the cranberry-pineapple relish:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup pineapple, diced
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)
Directions:
1. Prepare the salmon glaze:
In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the salmon fillets generously with the glaze.
2. Cook the salmon:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
3. Make the cranberry-pineapple relish:
In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, pineapple, orange juice, honey, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
4. Assemble:
Plate the salmon and spoon the cranberry-pineapple relish over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.
5. Serve:
Pair with roasted vegetables or wild rice for a complete holiday meal.
