Contributed by Eileen Goltz.

Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced to measure 4 cups
Salt
1 cup (6 oz.) Mission or Calimyrna figs, stemmed and halved
1/2 cup red or white wine
1/2 cup pareve chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried rosemary
Freshly ground black pepper
1 to 1 1/3 pounds salmon filet, skinned and cut into 4 portions
Chopped parsley


Instructions

Swirl olive oil in bottom of medium nonstick skillet. Add onions and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove cover and cook, stirring often, until onions are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in figs, wine, broth, vinegar and fresh rosemary. Increase heat to high and simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper
to taste. Place the filets on lightly oiled heavy baking sheet. Roast for 7 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes. Sprinkle salmon with parsley. Serve over fig sauce.

*Special Instructions

Parsley and Insect Infestation: Parsley is often used as spices or garnishing. Aphids, thrips and other insects may often be found on the leaves and stems of the parsley leaves. Insects tend to nestle in the crevices between the leaves and branches.These insects can curl up and stick to the leaf once they come in contact with water.

Please note:
Curly leaf parsley is very difficult to check. It is therefore recommended that only flat leaf parsley be used.
Vegetable spinners, power hoses, and light boxes are not always available in the home. We therefore recommend the following alternate procedure.

Inspection:
1. Soak the parsley in a solution of cold water and vegetable wash. The proper amount of vegetable wash has been added when some bubbles are observed in the water. (In the absence of vegetable wash, several drops of concentrated non-scented liquid detergent may be used. However, for health reasons, thoroughly rinse off the soapy solution.)
2. Agitate the parsley in the soapy water, in order to loosen the sticking excretion of the bugs.
3. Using a heavy stream of water, thoroughly wash off the soap and other foreign matter from the parsley.
4. Check both sides of each leaf under direct light.
5. If one or two insects are found, rewash the parsley.
6. If any insects are found after repeating the agitation process twice, the entire bunch must be discarded.
