Salmon with Rhubarb Sauce

I somehow woke up and decided I wanted to make some sort of sauce with rhubarb for salmon. It's a ridiculous idea in February when rhubarb is not exactly available, so I ended up buying some rhubarb preserves. This Salmon with Rhubarb Sauce is a revelation. The tartness of the rhubarb preserves works well to cut through the richness of the salmon.

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Cook: 20 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets

salt and pepper, to taste

Rhubarb Glaze

1 shallot, chopped

¼ cup white wine vinegar

¼ cup dry white wine

6 tablespoons rhubarb preserves

2 tablespoons butter

Directions

1Preheat oven to 400° F.

2Season salmon with salt and pepper.

3Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

4Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. 

5Add the salmon to the pan and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 3 - 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 minutes, or until the salmon is done to your liking.

6Sauté the shallots in olive oil, then add the white wine vinegar, and white wine and cook for 1 minute, or until the liquid is absorbed, then add the rhubarb preserves. Cook for 2 minutes then add butter and stir until melted.

7Pour the rhubarb sauce on the salmon and serve.
