Balsamic Glazed Salmon

This memorable and distinctive dish is just a bit deceiving...you won't
believe how easy it is to prepare!

Balsamic Glazed Salmon
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep Time: 5 min. Cook Time: 5 min. Bake Time: 15 min.

8 fresh salmon fillets, 3/4-inch thick (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp. olive oil
4 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1 3/4 cups Swanson(R) Chicken Stock
3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. orange juice
1 tsp. grated orange peel
Orange slices for garnish

Directions:
Place the salmon in an 11 x 8-inch (2-quart) shallow baking dish.
Sprinkle with black pepper and drizzle with oil. Bake at 350°F. for
15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Stir the cornstarch, stock, vinegar, brown sugar, orange juice and
orange peel in a 2-quart saucepan over high heat to a boil. Cook and
stir until the mixture boils and thickens.
Place the salmon on a serving platter and serve with the sauce. Garnish
with the orange slices. Serves 8.
 Campbell's Kitchen Tip: When grating citrus fruits you'll want to avoid
rubbing too deeply into the peel. There's a white layer between the
outer peel and the flesh, called the pith, which can be bitter.

Kitchen Clip:
Serve the salmon with a white and wild rice mix and some steamed green
beans sprinkled with sliced almonds.
