Salmon With Pickled Onions Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
• STEP 2.Thinly slice the red onion and place it in a jar or container. Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions, making sure they are completely submerged. Let the onions pickle for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

• STEP 4.Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
• STEP 5.Serve the salmon with a generous portion of pickled onions on top. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the salmon fillets dry before seasoning them. This will help ensure a crispy skin.
• Feel free to customize the pickled onions by adding additional spices or herbs, such as dill or red pepper flakes.
• If you prefer your salmon cooked to medium or well-done, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
• Leftover pickled onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week and used in other dishes, such as salads or sandwiches.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the salmon, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
