Salmon Steaks With Raspberry Mirepoix
Description
This elegant yet simple main course features hearty salmon steaks seared to perfection and finished with a vibrant raspberry vinegar reduction. The natural sweetness of the berries cuts through the rich, fatty texture of the salmon, creating a balanced and sophisticated flavor profile. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner that feels special, this dish comes together in under 30 minutes. The acidity of the vinegar helps brighten the dish, while the pepper adds a subtle kick. It pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.Ingredients

Note
Use fresh or frozen raspberries mixed with the vinegar if you want a thicker sauce with fruit pieces.
Be careful not to overcook the salmon; it should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
If the vinegar reduction becomes too strong, add a small pat of butter to mellow the acidity.
This dish pairs well with steamed asparagus, green beans, or roasted sweet potatoes.
