This is an adaptation from a few salmon with caramelized leeks recipes I've enjoyed. Simple, elegant, and delicious. I've served it for guests and picky teens with high praise.
Ingredients
-
4 leeks
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
3 carrots, cut into matchsticks
-
kosher salt, to taste
-
2 pounds salmon fillets
-
2 teaspoons olive oil
-
kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Description
-
Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
-
Trim away root end, tough outer leaves, and dark green tops of leeks. Cut leeks lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into thirds. Wash leeks well to remove any grit, and drain in a colander.
-
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir leeks until they have started to soften, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle leeks with brown sugar, and cook until they turn brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in matchs
