Cranberry Glazed Salmon Food

ROASTED SALMON WITH CRANBERRY-MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray small baking sheet with nonstick spray. Whisk oil and mustard in medium bowl to blend. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Place on prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Brush top of salmon with 2 tablespoons mustard-oil mixture. Roast salmon until fish is cooked through, about 13 minutes.
• Preheat broiler. Whisk cranberry relish, shallots, and vinegar into remaining mustard-oil mixture. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Broil salmon until top is browning in spots, about 30 seconds. Transfer to plates. Spoon sauce over; serve.

BAKED SALMON FILLET WITH PICKLED CRANBERRIES, PARSLEY & PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Make the pickled cranberries a week or two ahead. Put the vinegar and sugar in a pan over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Stir in the remaining ingredients and continue to boil for 4 mins. Pour the mixture into a 1-litre sterilised jar, or two smaller ones, and seal well, then leave to cool. Chill in the fridge for at least a week.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toast the breadcrumbs in a dry frying pan for 2-3 mins until golden and toasted, then tip onto a plate and leave to cool.
• Combine the breadcrumbs, thyme, sumac, lemon zest and some seasoning in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the 5 tbsp olive oil and mix in thoroughly.
• Lay a piece of baking parchment on a baking tray large enough to fit the salmon fillet. Put the salmon fillet skin-side down on top, and carefully spread the crust mixture over the top of the salmon. Don't press the mixture down too much. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
• Bake the salmon for 20-25 mins ideally until it is just cooked and the crust has turned a golden colour. Once cooked, transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the pistachios, some drained pickled cranberries and the parsley. Try serving with buttered greens and roast new potatoes.
