Orange Blossom Salmon recipe - The Daily Meal
Total time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
  • 2 oranges
  • 2 tablespoon orange marmalade
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoon minced shallots
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounce (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • salt and white pepper, to taste
  • 6 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, grilled or baked
  • 2 tablespoon diced tomato
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
Directions
  1. Zest 1 orange (producing about 2 teaspoons of zest). Juice 2 oranges (producing about 3/4 cup juice). Set aside.
  2. In a medium sauce pan over medium high heat, combine orange zest, orange juice, 2 tablespoons marmalade, 1/2 cup white wine, 2 tablespoons minced shallots and 1 tablespoon capers. Reduce liquid until thick and syrupy.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and add 1/2 cup heavy cream. Whisk in 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Butter emulsifies the sauce by adding it slowly while continuously whisking, creating a silky, smooth texture. Do not allow the sauce to boil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. To serve, place 6 (6-ounce) grilled or baked salmon fillets on plates. Top with the sauce and garnish with 2 tablespoons diced tomato and 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives.
