Grilled Glazed Salmon with Jalapeño Jelly: A Sweet and Spicy Fusion of Flavors
Grilled salmon is a classic dish, but this recipe takes it to the next level with a sweet and spicy glaze made with jalapeño jelly. The glaze adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the salmon, while the grilling gives it a slightly smoky flavor. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. The article also includes recipes for a simple roasted vegetable medley and a refreshing cucumber salad, both of which pair perfectly with the salmon. With its vibrant colors and tantalizing aromas, this grilled glazed salmon with jalapeño jelly is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
PAN-ROASTED SALMON WITH JALAPEñO
Here is a simple, easy preparation for salmon that allows wild-caught fish, especially, to shine. The foaming butter amplifies the richness of the flesh, while the jalapeños keep it in check, as soy sauce does to the fattiest sushi. Some prefer to reverse the order of the cooking, so that the fish is served skin-side up, but I find that cooking it this way allows the butter to do its job more effectively and delivers a more beautiful plate of food as well. (Most of it is left in the pan when you're done.) Top with chopped fresh herbs, and serve with roasted new potatoes.

Steps:
- Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large, heavy sauté pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil, and swirl it around. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the fillets in the pan, flesh side down, and allow to sear for about a minute, until the salmon has just started to pick up some color and releases easily from the pan.
- Use a spatula to turn the fillets onto their skin side, lower heat to medium and let them sizzle until the fish is caramelized around its bottom edges, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. (You may wish to use your spatula to press down on the fillets for the first 10 or 15 seconds to keep the skin from curling in the heat.)
- Turn heat to low, and add butter and diced jalapeño to the far side of the pan, then use the handle to tilt the pan away from you. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the sizzling butter and jalapeño. Continue basting, quickly and repeatedly, until the fish is golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Remove fillets from the pan, leaving the bulk of the butter and oil in it, and serve immediately, garnished with the chopped fresh herbs.

GRILLED GLAZED SALMON
This is by far, my favorite company meal. We eat this salmon very often. It is so tender and delicious. Everyone I have served it to has always loved it - even children. Don't be afraid of the cayenne pepper - this is not a spicy dish. The original version of this recipe actually called for more cayenne (3/4 tsp.) which you are welcome to try if you like it a bit more spicy. The salmon called for in this recipe is a whole side of a fish - do not cut up until after it is cooked. The skin acts as a moisture protector on the grill and also helps hold the fish together- it can be removed after cooking, if you prefer. Adapted from a similar recipe in Quick Cooking magazine.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, dill, and cayenne pepper, mixing well.
- Pour 1/2 cup of this sauce into a small saucepan- once the fish is in its final 5 minutes of cooking time, heat this until warm and pour over cooked fish.
- Set aside the remaining unheated sauce to use for basting the fish as you grill.
- Place the salmon, skin side down, on a large platter and season with lemon pepper seasoning and sea salt to taste.
- Note: If your lemon-pepper seasoning already contains salt, then don't add the extra salt.
- Lightly brush grill grates with some oil and heat grill to medium.
- Carefully slide salmon off of the platter and onto the grill, skin side down,using a large metal spatula to help.
- Cover grill and cook fish, undisturbed, for 5 minutes exactly.
- Baste liberally with the reserved basting sauce, re-cover, and cook another 10-15 minutes- basting every 5 minutes.
- Use up all of the basting sauce (Don't forgot to heat up the 1/2 cup reserved sauce from before).
- Fish is ready when it begins to flake and is starting to appear as if milk is seeping out.
- Carefullly remove to a fresh,clean platter and pour the 1/2 cup sauce you had simmering on the stove over the top of the fish.

ROASTED SALMON WITH JALAPEñO, HONEY AND LIME
This is speedy weeknight salmon with a kick, thanks to sliced jalapeño, which flavors the honey glaze and cooks alongside the salmon. The chiles caramelize as they roast, becoming spicy and sweet. If you want to reduce the heat slightly, use two jalapeños instead of three. Serve with steamed white or brown rice, spooning the extra glaze over the salmon and rice.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. While the oven heats, combine the honey, jalapeños, vinegar and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Brush a 9-by-9-inch baking pan (or other similar-size baking pan or dish) with olive oil, then place the fillets in the pan, arranging them evenly without crowding. Brush the fillets generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Pour the glaze and jalapeños over the salmon, spooning some of the glaze onto the fish as it collects in the bottom of the pan.
- Roast the salmon for 6 minutes, then baste with the glaze. Return to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Spoon the glaze in the pan over the salmon, then squeeze the lime over the salmon, and sprinkle with salt and cilantro, if using. Serve hot with rice on the side, pouring any glaze that remains in the pan over the rice.

Steps:
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine brown sugar, mustard and soy sauce in medium bowl; whisk to blend. Transfer 1 tablespoon glaze to small bowl; mix in rice vinegar and set aside. Brush 1 side of salmon steaks generously with half of glaze in medium bowl. Place salmon steaks, glazed side down, onto barbecue. Grill until glaze is slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Brush top side of salmon steaks with remaining glaze in medium bowl. Turn salmon over and grill until second side is slightly charred and salmon is just opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer salmon to plates. Drizzle reserved glaze in small bowl over salmon and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Opt for a thick, center-cut fillet that's about 1 inch thick. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the salmon from drying out.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it for just 8-10 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Make sure the glaze is thick and sticky: The glaze is what gives this salmon its delicious flavor and shine. Make sure it's thick enough to coat the salmon evenly, but not so thick that it's difficult to spread.
- Let the salmon rest before serving: Once you've cooked the salmon, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
Conclusion:
This grilled glazed salmon with jalapeño jelly is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the glaze adds a sweet and spicy flavor that's sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
