Serve an elegant, company-worthy dinner in just 40 minutes. A mixture of lemon juice, honey, ginger, and garlic acts as both a marinade and a glaze for the salmon. Ingredients:
2/3 cup sage honey |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, divided |
2 tablespoons warm water (100° to 110°) |
1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger |
1 garlic clove, minced |
4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets (1 inch thick) |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
4 cups trimmed arugula |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine honey, 2 tablespoons juice, water, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended. Pour honey mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan; arrange fish in pan, skinned side up. Let stand 20 minutes. Turn fish over; sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake at 350° for 7 minutes. Remove from oven.
3. Preheat broiler.
4. Brush fish with honey mixture; broil 7 minutes or until fish is browned and flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
5. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, oil, and pepper in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk until blended. Add arugula; toss gently to coat. Serve salad with fish.
6. Wine note: Honey intensifies the rich meatiness of salmon in this dish, which requires a clean, crisp wine. I love Havens Albariño 2004 from Napa Valley, California ($24). (Albariño is a Spanish white grape.) -Karen MacNeil
