How to Make Honey Salmon with Turnips

Step 1

In a small skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, or until onion is softened. Add the turnips and continue to cook, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until turnips are tender. Season turnips with pepper. Set aside.
Step 2

Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Lightly coat a medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add the salmon, skin side down, and sear it for about 3 minutes, or until crisp. With a spatula, flip the salmon. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, honey, lime juice and herbs. Baste the fish until it is medium rare, about 3 minutes. Serve topped with honey sauce and vegetables.
