When that first crisp fall breeze rolls in, I start dreaming of apples. Apple cider doughnuts with morning coffee, apple pie cookies for an after-dinner sweet—and yes, apples at dinnertime, too! This apple cider-glazed salmon is a weeknight wonder: the fish is brushed with a sweet and savory sauce of cider, brown sugar, soy sauce, and a hint of garlic and paprika, capturing all the cozy flavors of autumn. Pop the salmon in the oven to roast until it's flaky and tender while you toss red potatoes and green beans in a steamer on the stovetop to round out the plate. Got a little apple cider left in the jug? Shake up apple cider margaritas and call it a fall feast.

Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil, for the baking dish

  • 1 cup

    apple cider

  • 2 Tbsp.

    packed dark brown sugar

  • 2 tsp.

    soy sauce

  • 1 1/2 tsp.

    freshly grated ginger (from a 3/4-inch piece)

  • 1/4 tsp.

    paprika

  • 5

    garlic cloves, grated

  • 6 Tbsp.

    salted butter

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1

    (2-pound) piece center-cut salmon, skin removed

  • 2 tsp.

    kosher salt

  • 3/4 tsp.

    black pepper

  • 1 1/2 lb.

    small red-skinned potatoes, quartered

  • 1 lb.

    green beans, trimmed

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. For the glaze: Combine the apple cider, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, paprika, and 2 grated garlic cloves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer , and cook, stirring often, until syrupy, about 15 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons butter and the juice of ½ lemon. Set aside half of the glaze in a small bowl for serving.
    2. Step 2Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place in the prepared baking dish. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, then brush with the remaining glaze in the saucepan. Roast until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 18 to 20 minutes.
    3. Step 3Meanwhile, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add the potatoes, cover, and cook for 8 minutes. Add the green beans on top of the potatoes, cover, and cook until the beans are crisp-tender and the potatoes are easily pierced with a paring knife, about 5 minutes.
    4. Step 4Carefully remove the steamer basket and vegetables from the pot. Wipe the pot clean, then add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and melt over medium heat. Stir in the remaining 3 grated garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return the potatoes and green beans to the pot. Toss with the juice of the remaining ½ lemon, 1¼ teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
    5. Step 5Brush the salmon with the reserved glaze and serve with the vegetables.
