Make Baked Salmon with Sautéed Endive | American Masters: At Home with Jacques Pépin | PBS

Official website: http://www.pbs.org/americanmasters | #AmericanMastersPBS

Jacques Pépin's method for a simple baked salmon includes a sauce of ketchup, sesame oil, and hot sauce. He serves it with a side of caramelized endive.

Ingredients:

1 large Belgian endive, about 7 ounces
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt
Dash sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
½ teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
Dash hot oil or other hot sauce
2 pieces salmon, about 5-ounces each
1 tablespoon chopped chives or flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Method:

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Place the endive, water, butter, salt and sugar in a medium skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, covered, until most of the water has evaporated and the endive is nicely caramelized, 7 to 8 minutes.

To make the sauce, in a small bowl, combine the ketchup, sesame oil, hot oil and a dash of salt.

If the salmon is thicker at one end than the other, tuck the thinner belly portion underneath. Coat each portion on both sides with the sauce and place in a small sauté pan, ovenproof pan or dish. Bake until cooked to your liking, 5 to 10 minutes.

To serve, arrange the endive and salmon on a platter, and sprinkle with the chives or parsley. Serve immediately.
