From the Test Kitchen

A nod to traditions past and present, this dish features some of our favorite Thanksgiving ingredients. Fresh cranberry chutney, sweet potato and parsnip accompany seared salmon fillets rubbed with warming spices: nutmeg, cardamom, coriander and ground fennel seed. Salmon is an ideal partner for these autumnal flavors—in fact, seafood was present at the first Thanksgiving. Citrusy clementine adds delightful dimension to this hearty meal.

Peel and small dice the clementine; remove and discard any seeds. Peel the sweet potato and parsnip; halve both lengthwise, then cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Peel the onion and cut into 1-inch-wide wedges; separate the layers. Pick the mint leaves off the stems; discard the stems.

In a small pot, combine the cranberries, sugar, clementine zest, half the spice blend and 2 tablespoons of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high.
