Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Instructions
Pat the salmon steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, place the salmon steaks in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside, keeping it warm.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring the garlic does not burn.
Add the fresh strawberries to the skillet and use a wooden spoon to gently mash them. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the strawberries start to release their juice.
Stir in the honey, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped basil leaves for a fresh and aromatic touch.
Plate the salmon steaks and spoon the strawberry sauce generously over the top.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, wild rice, or a fresh green salad.
