Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, chopped
8 ounces guava paste, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
2 whole star anise
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra for greasing the baking dish
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup lime juice (from about 2 limes), plus 2 limes cut into wedges, for serving
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 mangoes, peeled, fruit cut off seed and diced
1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded, and finely diced
1 green bell pepper, halved, seeded and finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper, halved, seeded and finely diced
1 large red onion, halved and finely chopped
1 serrano chile, finely chopped, optional
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 whole side salmon (about 3 1/2 to 4 pounds)

Steps:

  • For the barbecue sauce:
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, cooking until it's soft and a little brown around the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the guava paste, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, star anise, allspice, and curry powder. Simmer until the guava paste has melted, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Discard the star anise; transfer the mixture to your blender and puree. With the motor running add the lime juice and rum. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • For the salsa:
  • Whisk the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the mangoes, peppers, red onions, chile, and cilantro and toss to coat. Add the beans and gently toss everything together.
  • For the salmon:
  • Heat your broiler to high. Line a large flameproof baking dish or rimmed flameproof baking sheet with a double layer of aluminum foil and grease the foil with some olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the salmon in the prepared baking dish and tuck about 2-inches of the tail end under the fish, so you have a somewhat uniform shape. Pour the barbecue sauce over the salmon and cook it under the broiler until the sauce caramelizes and chars around the edges and the salmon is firm and flakes easily, 8 to 12 minutes for rare (the salmon will still be pink in the middle) or 12 to 15 minutes for well done (the salmon will be cooked throughout).
  • Spread the salsa on the serving platter and carefully lift the salmon out of the baking dish and arrange it on top of the salsa (use 2 large spatulas to transfer it). Squeeze a few lime wedges over the fish and serve with additional lime wedges on the side.

SALMON WITH SALSA FRESCA



Salmon With Salsa Fresca image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large fresh ripe tomatoes, or 3 or 4 ripe plum tomatoes, cored and diced
1/2 large white onion, peeled and minced
1/4 habanero or jalapeño chili, stemmed, seeded and minced, or to taste
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley leaves
Juice of 1 or 2 limes, to taste
Freshly ground pepper and salt to taste
1 salmon fillet, about 1 1/2 pounds, preferably with skin on
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like corn or canola

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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 mangoes, peeled and diced
1/2 pineapple, cored and diced
1 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans
3/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
4 salmon fillets (5 ounces each), skin on
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine mangoes, pineapple, black beans, onion, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, allspice, cumin, thyme, cayenne and cinnamon in another bowl; rub over both sides of each fillet. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook salmon until cooked through, 5 minutes per side. Serve with salsa.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits.
  • Don't Overcook the Salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Use a Good Quality Salsa: The salsa is a key component of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. You can either make your own or buy a good quality store-bought salsa.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The salmon will be at its best when it is hot and flaky.
