Thanksgiving is certainly looking a bit different this year. Most people aren’t traveling and won’t be with family for the holidays, so it’s the perfect year to experiment in the kitchen and do things a little differently.
BluGlacier is a company that imports Chilean salmon here in the US, and they recently launched a new salmon delivery service called Oshēn that offers sustainable fresh and frozen salmons across the country.
This year, think outside the box with a rift on your classic turkey dish and opt for their Thanksgiving-inspired recipe featuring salmon baked in foil with smoked cranberry chutney. It’s easy to make and takes less than an hour to cook, making it ideal for a no-fuss holiday!
Salmon Baked in Foil with Smoked Cranberry Chutney
Serving size: 4
Cook time: Less than an hour
Ingredients
Salmon:
4 fillets of salmon
4 tablespoons of olive oil
6 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon of pepper
Thinly sliced lemon wedges
Cranberry Chutney:
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 orange
2 cups fresh cranberries
½ cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prep four large pieces of foil with baking spray. Add a touch of salt and thinly sliced lemon wedges. Then place the salmon on top.
Step 2: Add the olive oil evenly over the salmon filets, then sprinkle the salt and pepper. Rub the garlic cloves directly on the filets and place them throughout the foil.
Step 3: Fold the foil over so that the salmon is completely covered. However, do make sure you leave a little space inside the foil for the salmon to have air circulating.
Step 4: Bake the salmon for about 15-20 minutes. Cook time will vary based on salmon size and oven capacity, so the most important thing to check is that the salmon is cooked through the thickest part.
Step 5: As the salmon is baking, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté shallots and orange zest. Then add juice from orange and remaining cranberry chutney ingredients.
Step 6: Increase heat to high, and stir until cranberries pop, creating a sauce. Total cook time for sauce generally takes about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 7: Remove salmon from oven and switch oven setting to broil. Place salmon back in the oven for a few minutes until the garlic and top of the salmon are crispy and golden.
Step 8: Take salmon out of oven and place a heap of cranberry chutney atop the fillet of fish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
