Elevate Christmas dinner with Curtis Stone's stunning cherry-glazed salmon recipe using ripe, seasonal cherries.
Ingredients:
  • 4 medium shallots, finely chopped
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 8 x 180g boneless skinless salmon fillets
  • 250g fresh cherries, pitted, plus 12-18 cherries for garnish
  • 125.00 ml rice vinegar
  • 65.63 gm fresh lime juice
  • 76.25 gm fish sauce
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 45.00 gm firmly packed brown sugar
  • 56.88 gm extra-virgin olive oil
  • 62.50 ml finely chopped fresh coriander
  • 20.00 ml lime zest
Instructions:
  • For the vinaigrette: Blend 250g of cherries, vinegar, lime juice, and fish sauce in a blender on high speed for 1 minute until smooth.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté shallots until tender, about 1 minute. Add garlic, then brown sugar, and cook over low-medium heat until garlic is tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in cherry mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Skim off any foam. Transfer to a bowl and mix in extra virgin olive oil, coriander, and lime zest.
  • Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan-forced) for perfect baking results.
  • Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick ovenproof pan over high heat with oil. Sear the salmon for 2 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for 30 seconds. Finish by roasting the salmon in the oven for 2 minutes until pink in the center. Watch the thickness for accurate cooking time.
  • Place the salmon on a serving platter, top with the remaining whole cherries for a decorative touch, and serve promptly with the vinaigrette on the side for drizzling over each serving.
