Recipe from Organic Gardening Magazine . . . .


Slow Roasted Salmon with Tomato / Ginger Jam :

Slow roasting is a fail-proof way to avoid overcooking fish, producing perfectly cooked fish every time. This tasty tomato jam will also pair nicely with cooked chicken, pork, or beef. Great for entertaining, you can make the jam ahead and reheat in the microwave just before serving.
Serves: 4
Prep:  10 min
Cook: 25 min
Total: 35 min

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (5 ounces each)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 can (15 ounces) petite diced tomatoes with basil and oregano
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint
  • 3 cups green beans, steamed

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 250°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Place the salmon on the baking sheet and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes, or until just cooked through.
3. Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 6 minutes, stirring, until softened. Stir in the tomatoes, honey, vinegar, ginger, and paprika. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, or until reduced to a jamlike consistency. Stir in the mint.
