SALMON WITH NECTARINE SALSA

SALMON WITH NECTARINE SALSA image

Number Of Ingredients 18

Salsa
2 nectarines (about 1 pound) cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion or chopped scallion
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chervil
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger (optional)
1 jalapeno chili pepper, seeded and finely diced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint (or cilantro)
1/4 teaspoon organic cumin (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or organic cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Salmon
4 wild Alaskan salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or organic cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil

Steps:

In a medium bowl, combine the salsa ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Clean the grill grate and brush with oil. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat. Season the salmon on both sides with the salt and red pepper flakes and then drizzle with the lime juice and oil. Grill the salmon, flesh side down, over direct high heat with the lid closed as much as possible, until you can lift the fillets off the grate with tongs without sticking, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the fillets and cook them to your desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for medium rare. Slip a spatula between the skin and the flesh and transfer the fillets to serving plates. Serve warm with the salsa.
