Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 fresh wild salmon fillets 3oz – 6oz depending on your need
- 6 fresh purple figs
- 1/2 cup raw local honey
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey, vinegar, and chili powder. Let it simmer on low so that all the ingredients can melt and combine.
- Chop your figs into about ¼ th square inch pieces and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil with formed sides (like a large bowl). Pour about half of the honey glaze over the figs. Toss then put in the oven for about 15 minutes.
- Dust the salmon filets in the steak seasoning.
- Turn the heat to high on medium sauté pan and pour in the oil. When the oil runs thin (when it’s heated), place the salmon filets top side down. Let them sit here for about 5 minutes. This will give them a nice color and texture.
- After the 5 minutes, turn them over and pour the rest of the honey glaze over them. Pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes.
- When the figs and salmon are done in the oven, take them out and baste with the honey glaze that has melted off.
- Plate the salmon first then the caramelized figs on top.
- Enjoy!
