Salmon With Olive Vinaigrette Food

BALSAMIC-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, maple syrup, mustard and garlic to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• For the salmon: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle both sides of the salmon with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• For the vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the edamame and snap peas and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the vegetable mixture among 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of salmon and drizzle with the glaze.

SALMON WITH BLACK OLIVE VINAIGRETTE AND BRAISED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

Place the artichoke hearts a small baking dish and pour the mixture over them. Cover and bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender. Serve with lots of bread to sop up juice.
• Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place salmon in a small baking dish and pour 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette over. Marinate for 15 minutes. Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat. Remove salmon from marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, brush with the reserved vinaigrette every 2 minutes.

GRILLED SALMON WITH OLIVE-TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Mix the green and black olives, tomato paste, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice and water. Set aside; store in the refrigerator if kept longer than 4 hours.
• Heat grill to high. Season the flesh side of the salmon with Italian seasoning and spray liberally with olive oil. Spray the rack of the grill with oil and grill the fish flesh-side down until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip with a wide, long-handled spatula and grill until the fish flakes to gentle pressure. Depending on the thickness of the fillet this will take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes more. Slip the spatula between the skin and the flesh. Lift the fish onto a cutting board or serving platter; the skin will stick to the grill (it can be scraped off later). Spoon the olive sauce over the salmon and serve.
