The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
6 salmon fillets (4 to 6 oz. size), thawed if necessary
1 can (16 ounce size) whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon asian sesame oil
vegetable oil, as needed
directions
Place salmon in a large, non-reactive pan or dish. Combine remaining ingredients except vegetable oil. Pour marinade over salmon, turning to coat both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 1 hour.
To cook, remove salmon from marinade, reserving marinade. Pat salmon dry with a paper towel. Heat small amount of oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon, working in batches if necessary, for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at thickest part, or until salmon just flakes when tested with a fork. Remove salmon from pan and keep warm.
Discard oil from pan. Add reserved marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve salmon fillets with approximately 1/4 cup sauce per serving.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This is quite possibly one of the best salmon recipes we've tried. The cranberry sauce is the right balance of tart and sweet with a hint of Asian flavors. We'll make this again!

Outstanding!!! The salmon was tender and the flavor was perfect. The soy sauce/ginger/vermouth balanced out the sweetness of the cranberry. We wished we had doubled the recipe!
