blood orange glazed salmon

fresh squeezed blood orange juice, 1/2 to 3/4 c
fresh chopped ginger, around 1 t
honey or raw sugar, to taste
rice wine vinegar, around 1 T
white wine or vermouth, around 2 T

combine the above ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until mixture thickens to the desired consistency. this could take up to 30 minutes.

salmon filets, about 6 oz each
sesame oil, 2 T
soy sauce, 2 T
white wine or vermouth, 1/4 to 1/2 c

meanwhile, preheat the oven 400 F. rinse the salmon filets and pat them dry. dress with kosher salt and pepper if desired. heat a large heavy skillet until very hot. sear the fillets in a tablespoon or two of sesame oil for a minute on each side.

transfer filets to a glass baking dish, drizzle the soy sauce and wine over them. bake for around 10 minutes or until done. transfer filets to a plate and spoon the glaze over the top.
