This has been our favorite way to eat salmon all summer long. If it's too cold to grill where you are (poor things!), you could bake this in the oven as well :-) Ingredients:
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice |
zest of 1 orange |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary |
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste |
4 salmon steaks or filets (about 6 ounces each) |
Directions:
1. Place orange juice, zest and sugar in a saucepan over high heat and bring to boil. Reduce by half and cool.
2. Place reduction along with the rest of the ingrediants in a large sealable plastic bag. Shake well. Add salmon and refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak a cedar plank for 1 hour and preheat charcoal grill.
3. Remove steaks/filets from marinade. Position salmon on soaked cedar plank and place over hottest part of your grill. Close lid and grill until salmon to 120 degrees internal. Remove from grill, cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
4. Note: while the salmon is grilling, we like to throw down fresh corn on the cob that has been rubbed with olive oil and spinkled with kosher salt. The corn picks up the wonderful flavor from the cedar. After it's nicely carmelized, take the cobs off the grill and rub butter all over them... enjoy!
