SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED SALMON
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.

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.

Steps:
- Combine the black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil to make a paste. Spread the paste all over the salmon fillets, and set aside to marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Heat a separate non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon fillets in the hot skillet until golden brown on each side, and no longer translucent in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Pour the browned onions and olive oil over the salmon fillets to serve.

SALMON PAPILLOTES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND CURRANTS
Steps:
- In a small saucepan warm brandy over moderate heat and add currants. Remove pan from heat. Let mixture stand, covered, 20 minutes.
- Halve onions lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a large skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes more. Add currant mixture, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool. Caramelized onions may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Preheat oven to 475°F.
- Fold each parchment piece in half crosswise and cut each piece to make a large rounded heart shape. (Folded piece should be at least 2 inches larger all around than salmon fillet.) Open a parchment "heart" and put a salmon fillet in middle of one side. Sprinkle fillet with 1 tablespoon wine and salt and pepper to taste. Spread one fourth caramelized onions on fillet and fold other side of parchment over. Beginning at bottom end of center crease, in overlapping 1-inch segments fold edges of parchment, crimping as you go, to form a tight seal. Make 3 more papillotes in same manner. Papillotes may be made up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
- Put papillotes on a large baking sheet and bake 9 to 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted through parchment and into fish slides out smoothly.
- Serve papillotes immediately, cutting them open at table.
GRILLED SALMON WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS
Steps:
- Preheat a grill to high.
- Lightly mist both sides of each salmon fillet with spray. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly mist a large sheet of aluminum foil and place it directly on the grill rack, spray side up. Set the fillets side by side on the foil so they do not touch. Grill them until the salmon is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer each fillet to a plate and top each with half the onions. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- For the freshest salmon, look for fish that is bright pink or orange in color and has firm, moist flesh.
- To ensure that the salmon is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check for doneness by gently flaking the salmon with a fork. If it flakes easily, it is cooked through.
- To prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan, make sure that the pan is well-oiled before cooking.
- If you are using a non-stick pan, you may not need to add any oil at all.
- To caramelize the onions, cook them slowly over low heat until they are soft and golden brown.
- To make the sauce, simply whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl.
- Serve the salmon with the caramelized onions and sauce immediately.

This spicy salmon with caramelized onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the caramelized onions add a sweet and savory flavor. The sauce is the perfect finishing touch, adding a bit of heat and spice.
