Light Caramelized Onion Salmon

Gentle caramelized onion with juicy salmon. No added sugar.

Ingredients

How many are you cooking for?

Original recipe for 2 servings

  • 350 g salmon fillet
  • 3 onions
  • 4 tbsp white wine
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • parsley
  • salt

Step by step

Follow the timeline: technique icon, time and temperature when relevant.

  1. Step 1 Pan 15 min

    Sauté sliced onions for 15 minutes until caramelized. Taste for salt at the end and adjust if needed.

  2. Step 2 Cook 3 min

    Add wine and vinegar, cook for 3 minutes. Measure the ingredients before you start.

  3. Step 3 Cook 6 min

    Place salmon on top, cover and cook for 6 minutes. Keep an eye on the time to avoid overcooking: the perfect point makes the difference.

Storage

Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave 1–2 min. Freeze only if the recipe allows.

Chef tips

  • Mise en place: chop and weigh before cooking so you don't run over time.
  • Taste for salt at the end; broths and canned foods already add sodium.
  • For meal prep, keep dressings separate until serving.
