California cuisine is all about balancing flavors. This recipe brings out the sweetness in orange juice and honey and balances it with the kick of ancho chili pepper and balsamic. Ingredients:
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon minced shallot |
1 cup orange juice |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
3 tablespoons honey |
1 tablespoon ground ancho chili pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 salmon fillet (1 pound) |
2 teaspoons canola oil |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan coated with cooking spray, saute garlic and shallot until tender. Add orange juice and vinegar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until reduced to 1/4 cup. Stir in the honey, chili pepper, salt and pepper.
2. In a large ovenproof skillet, brown salmon in oil on both sides. Brush with 1/4 cup sauce. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
3. Brush with remaining sauce and sprinkle with cilantro. Yield: 4 servings.
