Salmon
Yin-Yang Salmon
A visually striking dish featuring dual-colored sauces—often light and dark—over seared salmon fillets. Balanced in flavor and appearance, this East-meets-West fusion delivers harmony and elegance on the plate.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup hot red pepper sauce 1/2 cup brown sugar, or to taste 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (2 pound) boneless salmon fillet 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Stir together the hot sauce, brown sugar, butter, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well blended. Remove from heat, and set aside.
- Coat a casserole dish with olive oil. Poke holes in the salmon with a fork, then place into the dish. Pour reserved sauce over the fish, top with green onions, and season with salt and pepper. Marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 C).
- Bake salmon in preheated oven, uncovered, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes.
