Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) wild salmon fillets with skin on one side
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Olive oil
• 1 large mango, peeled and finely diced
• Juice of ½ lime
• 2 jalapeño chiles, seeded and minced
• 2 Tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
• 1 Tbsp honey
• ½ tsp coarse sea salt
• A flame-resistant towel tied with twine and soaked in neutral oil

Procedure

1. First, make the salsa. In a large bowl, combine mango, lime juice, jalapeños, mint, honey, and sea salt. Refrigerate until needed.
2. Heat about 28 charcoal briquets in a large chimney starter. Once hot, disperse evenly around the bottom of the grill. Reapply the grate.
3. Quickly lube the grate with the oil-soaked towel.
4. Brush salmon liberally with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5. Place salmon on grill, skin side down, and cook, covered, turning often, until fish is pink throughout and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
6. Move to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest 5-7 minutes before serving with salsa.
