Baked Salmon, Sweet Candy Onions and Brown Sugar Mandarin Glaze

Author: D. Durand Worthey

Ingredients

  • 4 Salmon Filets
  • 4 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 1-2 more for sauteing onions
  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons of Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter
  • 1 Can of Mandarin Oranges drained but reserve juice
  • 1 Large Michigan Sweet Candy Onion or Sweet Vidalia, sliced
  • 1/2 Cup Parsley finely chopped
  • Old Bay
  • McCormick Peppercorn Medley Grinder
  • McCormick Chipotle Sea Salt Blend

Instructions

  • Pat dry salmon steaks and brush each with a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Season salmon steaks with Old Bay, Cracked Peppercorn and Chipotle Sea Salt Blend
  • Place salmon steaks on a buttered cookie sheet with sides to prevent juices from spilling
  • In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar, reserved Mandarin Orange juice, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Mix well and using a baker's brush coat seasoned salmon steaks.
  • Top salmon steaks with Mandarin oranges, chopped garlic, and onions.
  • Place in a pre-heated 400-degree oven and bake for (the rule of thumb is to bake salmon for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness) 20 minutes because I prefer the skin to be crispy and no sliminess in the salmon meat.
  • At the 10 minute mark apply more glaze (using a clean brush)
  • When finished remove from oven and apply for glaze and let salmon steaks rest for about 5 minutes, serve.
