Ingredients
-
16 ounces salmon fillets
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 Granny Smith Apples, diced
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves only
Pinch black pepper
1/2 lemon, juiced
Tips
Salmon is full of Omega-3 fatty acids. While it's pricier than other varieties of fish, its nutritional benefits make it worth the price tag.
Wild salmon, while tasty, runs at least $12 a pound. Look for wild salmon to go on sale in summer and stock up, freezing the surplus.
When you're shopping for this recipe, buy double the ingredients and make an extra batch for Chef Meg's Salmon Cakes later in the week.
Directions

Caramelized onions: Two medium onions: slice very thin, break apart into saute pan with 1 tbl melted butter and 1 tbl olive oil. Cook over to medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and very limp. Takes about 1/2 hour. Can be used on sandwiches, pizza, in French onion soup, etc. - 2/24/10
