Sweet and Saucy Grilled Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets, skinned (2 inches wide)
• 1/2 cup jalapeno jelly
• 2 scallions, rough cut
• 1/2 cup cilantro, stems okay
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons butter
• aluminum foil, folded into a little tray

Directions

1. 1

   Put the jelly, scallions, cilantro, garlic, and lime zest into a food processor. Pulse the processor until the mixture is finely pureed.

2. 2

   Put in a small saucepan over medium heat, bubbling away for 2-3 minutes. Add to the butter and mix while it all melts into the sauce. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

3. 3

   Put the salmon face-down (presentation side) onto the foil. You are putting it face-down because during cooking, you will turn the fish over one time only, therefore ending-up with the pretty side face-up so you can re-glaze at the end.

4. 4

   Now brush the less-attractive bottom side (which is now face-up) with the sauce.

5. 5

   Put the aluminum foil trays with your salmon onto the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon fillets over with tongs.

6. 6

   With a spoon, put a thick layer of the glaze on top and let the salmon finish cooking.

7. 7

   Plate the salmon. Add a little more glaze on top and garnish it with lemon and cilantro.
