Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
60g
2 lb salmon
910g
1/2 cup vinegar
120g
1/3 cup lime juice
72g
1/3 cup fish sauce
72g
4 shallots
200g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g
1 tbsp lime zest
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Salmon:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
3. Make the Cherry Vinaigrette:
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté until the shallots are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the vinegar, lime juice, and fish sauce. Stir well to combine.
- Add the brown sugar, stirring until it dissolves.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lime zest and chopped coriander leaves.
4. Combine and Serve:
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
- Spoon the cherry vinaigrette over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Garnish with additional coriander leaves if desired.
5. Serve: Serve the roasted salmon with cherry vinaigrette immediately. Enjoy your delightful and flavorful meal!

Tips:

- Ensure the salmon is at room temperature before roasting to ensure even cooking.

- Use fresh lime juice and zest for the best flavor.

- If you prefer a sweeter vinaigrette, add a little more brown sugar to taste.

- For a touch of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette.

- To avoid overcooking, keep a close eye on the salmon as it roasts and check for doneness with a fork; it should flake easily.

With just a few simple steps and fresh ingredients, you can create a delicious roasted salmon with cherry vinaigrette that will impress your family and guests. The combination of flavors from the cherry vinaigrette and the perfectly roasted salmon make this dish a standout. Enjoy your meal!
