Grilled
Citrus Salmon Fillets
Serves 6
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons peeled, finely minced
fresh ginger
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves,
chopped
6 (6-ounce center-cut) pieces salmon fillets with skin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
to taste
In a blender purée citrus juices, brown sugar, onion
and ginger until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade. Transfer
remaining marinade to a large zip-lock style plastic bag
and add the cilantro and salmon fillets, seal bag, removing
as much air as possible. Marinate salmon in refrigerator
for 1 to 2 hours.
Prepare grill.
Remove salmon from marinade and discard marinade. Pat salmon
dry. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Grill, skin side
down, on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals
4 minutes. Put lid on grill and grill salmon until just
cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. (Salmon may be grilled
in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan with a lid over
medium heat.) Carefully transfer salmon with a metal spatula
to a platter and remove skin.
Pour reserved juice mixture over salmon and serve.
