This easy yet elegant salmon dish can be prepared in about half an hour. For the agrodolce (an Italian sweet-and-sour sauce), balsamic vinegar is reduced to concentrate its flavors and thicken it, and finished with a swirl of butter to create a velvety glaze. The dish is low in carbs and packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. It would go well with roasted or grilled asparagus. (If you're concerned about your sodium intake, reduce the amount of salt used to season the fish.)

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (1 inch thick) with skin
  • 2 medium red onions (about 1 pound total), each cut into 8 wedges
  • 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Preparation

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Pat salmon dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then cook, skin side up, until undersides form a golden crust, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn fish over and cook until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onions until golden brown and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until sauce is syrupy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.

Spoon onions with sauce onto plates and top with salmon, skin side down.
