Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towels and season lightly with pepper.
  2. Heat a small amount of oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Place the salmon steaks in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tenting loosely with foil to keep warm.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the raspberry vinegar into the hot skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Let the vinegar simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced and glossy.
  7. Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the vinegar glaze over the top to heat through.
  8. Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining pan sauce over the fish.

Note

Ensure the salmon is patted very dry before cooking to achieve a good sear and prevent steaming.

If the vinegar reduces too much, add a splash of water to loosen the sauce.

For a richer sauce, you can add a teaspoon of butter at the end and swirl it in.

This dish pairs well with steamed asparagus, quinoa, or roasted potatoes.
