I found this recipe in a newsletter I subscribe to - It sounded awfully good - I tweaked it a little to suite my family's tastes. I have not tried this, but I think if you were to double the dressing recipe and use part of it to lightly brush on the salmon before it bakes, it would make a nice marinade. Make sure you keep the marinade part separate from the dressing you put on the salads though, so your salad dressing is not contaminated with unbaked fish.
SALMON WITH CRANBERRY-BLUEBERRY VINAIGRETTE AND BABY GREENS
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
For Dressing:
6 tablespoons Ocean Spray® 100% Juice Cranberry & Blueberry
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 salmon filet, 20-24 ounces
1 lemon - slice into 8 slices (removing the ends first), divided
Lightly sprinkle with Garlic salt
4 cups mixed baby greens
1/4 cup blueberries
DIRECTIONS:
Whisk together juice, 4 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in small bowl; set aside.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper, with enough on the ends to meet in the middle and seal. Spray with cooking spray. Place the salmon filet skin side down, in the center of the sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt and place 4 of the lemon slices down the center. Fold the foil (or parchment) to the center and seal, folding up all edges to create a packet. Bake for about 25 minutes per pound (aprox 40-45 minutes for 24 oz. filet or until the salmon flakes easily) Slow baking at a lower temperature makes the fish stay moist. When the fish is done, replace the baked lemon slices with fresh ones (sliced 1/2 way through and twisted so they look pretty) Divide the salmon into four portions and place on dinner plates.
Divide greens between plates and drizzle greens and salmon with vinaigrette; sprinkle with blueberries.
Makes 4 servings.
