Homestyle Cooking with Mary: Salmon with Curried Balsamic Orange Glaze

Homestyle Cooking with Mary

Salmon with Curried Balsamic Orange Glaze

Start with the freshest and thickest piece of salmon you can buy.  Now if I could have salmon shipped from Alaska at a reasonable price I might do that because I can still taste the salmon we had there while on vacation.  The following recipe came from friends in Virginia Beach that we visited recently. 

Marinade one & half pounds  salmon 15 minutes

• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tlbs fresh basil chopped
• Salt & pepper as desired

Glaze

• 2 tlbs olive oil
• 2tsp red curry paste  (I found this in Thai aisle of my local grocery store)
  
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 cup orange juice (1/2 orange squeezed)
• 2 tlbs brown sugar
• Salt & pepper as desired

Heat oil, sear salmon on both sides.  Bake in oven @ 500 for 10-15 minutes until flaky.  Do not overcook.

In skillet:  mix curry paste, onions.  Add vinegar, orange juice, brown sugar.  Reduce.  (This is important step)

Pour glaze over salmon before serving.  If you used fresh orange juice, slice remaining orange & use as garnish.
