Ingredients

2 Sockeye (or other) Salmon filets

2 medium onions sliced thin ( ok, 1 if you don't want so many, but they cook down)

1 Preserved lemon, rinsed with pulp removed, sliced thin.

Salt

Pepper

Olive Oil

Simple dressing for salmon if desired:

3 tablespoons sour cream

1 tsp lemon

1/2 tsp dill

1/4 tsp salt

Directions

Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper

Slice onions thin and saute in olive oil over medium heat until transulcent in a large pan (have cover ready)

When onions are translucent, place salmon on top of them

Place your lemon slices/slivers on top of the fish

Cover and continue cooking over medium heat ~ 8 minutes, depending on the size of your fish

While cooking, if you wish to prepare the sour cream dressing, simply mix all ingredients and set aside

You may have to cook the onions down more before you add the fish if you want them to start to caramelize. Just don't burn them! I'm still experimenting on the timing. sorry!

Preserved lemons are easy to make. I just take about 5 lemons, quarter them, pack the insides with about a tablespoon of salt, and put them into a quart canning jar topped with lemon juice. In a little over a month (please turn them upside down/rightside up every day) they are ready to use.
