Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 canned chipotle chiles in adobo
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup tamarind concentrate
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
Kosher salt, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
4 six-ounce center-cut boneless salmon filets

Steps:

  • 1. Chop chipotles and garlic in a food processor. Add tamarind, brown sugar, and salt and puree. Add vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, and oil, and puree until smooth. Pour about 1/4 cup of glaze into a small bowl. Reserve remaining glaze for serving.
  • 2. Preheat a grill to medium.
  • 3. Brush salmon filets with oil and season with 1 tablespoon salt, to taste. Place fillets, top-side (rounded side) down, on grill. Cook until distinct grill marks appear, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over, lightly brush with glaze, and cook, brushing occasionally with more glaze, until firm but slightly pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with more glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature, and pass additional glaze, if desired.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED SALMON



Sweet and Spicy Grilled Salmon image

The decadent-tasting "good" fat in salmon complements the sweet-spicy Buffalo glaze. The skin gets caramelized and crisp on the grill as the sauce drips onto it. It's delicious, but can be discarded to save fat and calories. (The numbers below include the skin.) A crisp and refreshing celery slaw is dressed with the same sauce, made creamy with light mayo, and brightened with onions and chives.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 Tbsp packed dark brown sugar
1 tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp light mayonnaise
1 Tbsp snipped chives
8 stalks celery, very thinly sliced in half moons on an angle
½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
4 (5-oz) center-cut ski-non salmon fillets, about 1 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on medium high.
  • Mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, paprika and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise; set aside the rest of the sauce. Add the chives, celery and onions to the bowl with the mayonnaise and toss well.
  • Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grate lightly with oil. Lay the salmon on the grill, skin-side up, and cook until distinct grill marks appear and the salmon releases easily from the grate, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brush the fish with some of the reserved sauce. Continue to cook the fish, brushing the pieces periodically with the sauce, until the salmon fillets are glazed and just cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes more.
  • Transfer the fillets to individual plates and serve with the celery slaw.
