Instructions
Peel onion and cut into 8 wedges.
Pour 1 teaspoon oil into a 2- to 3-quart pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add onion and cook, turning once, to lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
Add orange juice and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until onion is very tender when pierced, about 45 minutes.
Shortly before onion is done, pour remaining oil into a nonstick 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add salmon. Cook, turning once, until fish is opaque but still moist-looking in thickest part (cut to test), 7 to 9 minutes total.
Transfer the salmon to plates and serve with onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon can be paired with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. You could try Rochioli Estate Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 42 dollars per bottle.
Rochioli Estate Chardonnay
This wine is a fine example of the unique characteristics from the Rochioli property and the Russian River Valley. Aromas of ripe apple, tropical fruit, hazelnut and a touch of spice combine with the rich apple flavors and crisp acidity.
