SPICY SALMON WITH WATERMELON SALSA
Steps:
- Make the salsa: Marinate the onion with the red wine vinegar, red wine, and sugar for about an hour. Drain liquid from the onions. Combine onions with the remaining ingredients and chill.
- Make the glaze: Combine all the glaze ingredients and bring to a slow simmer for ten minutes.
- Divide the salsa among 4 dinner plates. Brush the spicy glaze on the skin side of the salmon fillets, turn over and put a very heavy coating on top. Set aside. Heat a heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Add enough of the vegetable oil to film the bottom of the saute pan. Place the salmon fillets in the pan topside down and cook until the fish is glazed and mahogany brown. Flip and cook on the skin side for 3 to 6 minutes until the fillets are medium rare. Remove from heat and place on top of salsa. Sprinkle with a little coarse ground pepper.
SALMON WITH SALSA FRESCA
There was a time when the appearance of the first ripe tomatoes would have inspired me to make the southern Italian sauce of raw tomatoes, basil, garlic and olive oil. These days, I turn to a Mexican-style salsa fresca: tomatoes, white onion, chili and loads of cilantro and lime. I love salsa with fish, and since it is wild salmon season, the marriage seems opportune. Halibut and swordfish, whether grilled, broiled, roasted, or even steamed, are equally fine. Though the salsa is quick to prepare, it's best if allowed to sit for 15 to 30 minutes before serving. The tomatoes' juices will run, and the flavors will mingle. No more than an hour, though.

Steps:
- Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be moderately hot and grill rack about 4 inches from heat source. Or, heat oven to 500 degrees.
- Chop tomatoes and combine them in a bowl with onion, chili, cilantro, lime juice and some salt. Set aside.
- Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. If grilling, rub fish with a little oil as well; put it on grill, skin side down, and let it sit for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn once (don't worry if part of skin sticks to grill). Cook for about 3 minutes more, until medium-rare.
- If roasting, heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for a minute. Add oil and, a few seconds later, salmon, skin side up. Sear for a minute, then transfer to oven and roast until medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Allow to rest for a minute or so, then remove skin. Turn over and serve, passing salsa at the table.

SALMON WITH VEGETABLE SALSA
This recipe is delightful. You can pair the salsa with grilled chicken breasts or barbecued shrimp kabobs, too. The only fresh ingredient not available in my son's garden was the avocado! Make a double batch of the salsa to serve with crisp tortilla chips. -Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

Steps:
- rub fish with olive oil and sprinkle with a mix of parsley flakes, salt, pepper and garlic to taste. Wrap in foil. Grill 15 minutes on each side, more if fish is thick. If flakes, it is done, moist too!
- Mix remaining ingredients and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve with brown rice and a crisp romaine salad for a special treat. Salsa is good with most any fish that needs a little extra something!
