  • 1 tsp beef base dissolved in
  • 1/4 c. water (or possibly substitute 1/2 c. beef stock)
  • 1 tsp freshly-grnd black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 c. canned tomatoes liquid removed

Directions

  1. Rub the fillets in extra virgin olive oil approximately 1 hour prior to cooking, and give them a very light dusting of lemon pepper seasoning. Rub your gas or possibly charcoal grill with oil and/or possibly spray the cooking surface with Pam or possibly a similar non-stick product before preheating on a medium-high setting. If you are using skinless fillets, put a piece of foil underneath before cooking; otherwise start the cooking process skin-side down.
  2. Cook the salmon on medium-high heat for 10 min. Just before turning, put a little more extra virgin olive oil on the uncooked side to prevent sticking. With a spatula, gently turn the fillets and cook for around 4 min on the other side. If you are using foil, throw away it after turning.
  3. Remove the salmon from the grill and serve over one of the following three sauces on heated plates.
  4. For the Caramelized Onion And Orange Sauce: In a saute/fry pan, heat the butter and add in the sliced onions. Cook over high heat for 1 minute and add in the brown sugar. Cook the onions till they begin to turn brown but not burned.
  5. Add in the rest of the ingredients, except the salt, and turn down the heat to medium. Allow the mix to reduce to a consistency slightly thinner than the orange concentrate. Add in salt to taste.
  6. When ready to serve, place several spoonfuls on hot plates in equal portions. Gently cover with the cooked fillets.
  7. For the Raspberry Sauce Mint Bar Style: Follow the same process in caramelizing the onions as above. Add in the rest of the ingredients and reduce, following the same process. Check for salt at the end although the beef base will probably provide an adequate amount. Serve in the same manner as with the previous sauce.
  8. For the Seared Tomatoes And Caramelized Onions: Preheat a saute/fry pan over high heat. Add in 2 Tbsp. of the oil. Drain and flatten the tomatoes. Carefully place them in the warm oil and cook till they begin to burn slightly, adding oil when necessary. If you have a splatter screen, use it, as there will be a lot of popping and splattering. When the tomatoes are done, set them aside, being careful to keep them intact.
  9. To caramelize the onions, heat the butter and cook the onions over high heat till they begin to brown. You can add in a little sugar, if necessary, to help the caramelizing process. When the onions are finished, set them aside.
  10. To finish the sauce, add in a little more oil, add in the basil leaves, followed by the red wine and onions. Cook the sauce for 30 seconds, then add in the tomatoes. Salt and pepper to taste, and portion the sauce over the salmon filets.
  11. This recipe yields 4 servings.
  12. Comments: Be sure to begin with boneless fillets. The meat around the bone can sometimes have a strong flavor. On thinner pcs, leave the skin on to keep the salmon from drying out during the grilling process. The best size is a boneless fillet between 7 and 8 ounces, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
