Instructions
- Cook the salmon filets. You can choose any method you prefer:Baked: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place salmon in a baking dish and baked until cooked through, 12-15 minutes. Top with the cranberry sauce and broil for about a minute and serve immediately.Pan-Fried: Bring the salmon to room temperature before cooking. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side up in the skillet and fry for 4 minutes. Turn the salmon over and fry for another 3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Cook until the salmon is firm to the touch. Top with the cranberry sauce and broil in the oven for about a minute and serve immediately.Grilled: Preheat the grill for medium heat. Lightly oil grill grate and place the salmon on the grates skin-side up. Grill for about 4 minutes, turn the salmon over and grill for another 4-6 minutes or until just cooked through. During the last couple of minutes of grilling, top the salmon with the cranberry sauce. Serve immediately.Sous Vide: Place the salmon filets in heat-safe ziplock resealable bags, pressing as much air out of the bags as you can and seal them tightly shut. Bring the water in your sous vide cooker to 122 degrees F, place the salmon in it and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the salmon from the bags, place the filets on a lightly greased baking sheet, top with some of the ginger cranberry sauce, and broil for a minute.
- Serve the salmon with steamed jasmine, basmati or wild rice and your choice of vegetables.
