Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 large shallot, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 2-3 peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grape seed oil
  • 2 4 ounce portions wild Alaska salmon

Instructions

  1. Add brown sugar and apple cider vinegar to a medium sized pot and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to combine. Add shallot and cook until mixture has reduced to a syrup-y consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Add spices, salt, raisins and peaches and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool completely before stirring in basil.

  2. Add oil to a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot but not smoking, add salmon and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the salmon. 

  3. Transfer salmon to plates and top with a generous spoonful of the peach basil chutney.
