SALMON IN CRANBERRY-CLEMENTINE BUTTER SAUCE

Salmon in Cranberry-Clementine Butter Sauce
by Meghan Pembleton

2 clementines or tangerines, or 1 orange
1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 skinless salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Scrape zest from clementines, then cut them in half and squeeze juice into a bowl. Add cranberries to bowl and let soak 15 minutes. Drain cranberries (discarding liquid), squeeze dry in paper towels and set aside. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, to desired doneness. Move salmon to a plate and cover to keep warm. Decrease skillet heat to medium-low and add butter. Cook and stir just until butter starts to brown. Remove from heat and stir in rosemary, zest and cranberries. Plate salmon and top with sauce.
