Here's my go-to entree for a warm-weather cookout. The salmon has a rich, grilled taste that's enhanced by the savory blackberry sauce. It's a nice balance of sweet, smoky and spicy. âStephanie Matthews, Tempe, AZ Ingredients:
2 cedar grilling planks |
2 cups fresh blackberries |
2 tablespoons white wine |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons honey |
1-1/2 teaspoons chipotle hot pepper sauce |
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided |
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots |
1 garlic clove, minced |
6 salmon fillets (5 ounces each) |
Directions:
1. Soak grilling planks in water for at least 1 hour.
2. In a food processor, combine the blackberries, wine, brown sugar, honey, hot pepper sauce, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cover and process until blended. Strain and discard seeds. Stir shallots and garlic into the sauce; set aside.
3. Place planks on grill over medium-high heat. Cover and heat until planks create a light to medium smoke and begin to crackle, about 3 minutes (this indicates planks are ready). Turn planks over.
4. Sprinkle salmon with remaining salt and pepper. Place on planks. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with sauce. Yield: 6 servings (3/4 cup sauce).
