1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small frying pan, add the garlic and onion and cook for 5-10 minutes until golden and caramelised. Remove from heat, add vinegar, zest, honey and seasoning and whisk until syrupy. Return to heat and cook for a few minutes until the onion is sticky.
2. Grill or fry the salmon for 3 minutes each side. Spoon over the onions and scatter mint leaves over. Serve with salad.

  Loved it! Of course the quality of the salmon used helps. Good enough for guests but quick enough for midweek. Definitely one to repeat!
