3/4 cup artichoke hearts, marinated-chopped 1/4"-1/2" pieces
1 Tbsp. capers-chopped
1 Tbsp. parsley-minced
Salt to taste
White pepper, ground to taste

Steps:

Preparation ARTICHOKE TARTAR PROCEDURES: Combine and blend all ingredients together. Store refrigerated until needed. GRILLED SALMON PREPARATION (20 minutes): Fire up the charcoal grill to the proper cooking temperature (500-600 degrees). To minimize grill sticking, brush grates completely free of any carbon buildup and "season" grates by brushing the surface with vegetable oil. NOTE: An over-fired range broiler can also be used if a charcoal grill is not available. Baste the salmon fillets with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill salmon until cooked through, but still moist and flaky (approximately 6-8 minutes). Turn and bast salmon with olive oil half way through the grilling process. Meanwhile, lightly baste artichokes halves with olive oil and place on grill to warm through. Remove and keep salmon fillets and artichokes warm from plating. Meanwhile, toss to dress the seasonal greens, gorgonzola crumbles and red onions, with the olive oil and raspberry vinegar. Mound the dressed greens on serving plates, lay the grilled salmon over the greens. Fill the artichoke halves with artichoke tartar and place along side of the salmon. Serve with lemon slices.

Categories main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Pinch ground celery seed
Pinch minced garlic or garlic powder
Pinch lemon pepper
Pinch minced onion or onion powder
1 large handful fresh sage leaves, chopped (preferably red or purple flavorful variety)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or lemon thyme
1/4 cup light olive oil
1/2 cup good quality balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup dry white wine
A few dashes of umeboshi plum vinegar (Available in Asian or gourmet groceries. If unavailable, sea salt may be substituted)
Dash of water
Alden chips
2 large King salmon fillets
2 tablespoons fresh juniper berries, crumbled
Whole sage leaves
Lemon slices, for garnish

Steps:

Preheat a grill.
Whisk together celery seed, garlic, lemon pepper, onion, chopped sage leaves, thyme, oil, balsamic vinegar, wine, plum vinegar, and a dash of water (quantities of liquid and dry spice ingredients are best adjusted to individual taste). Place alder chips over coals of grill to add flavorful smoke (mesquite may be substituted). Dredge fillets lightly in marinade then rub in juniper berries and a few whole sage leaves. Place on hot grill (medium high if controllable). Cook for about 10 minutes per side. (Salmon is best cooked until it is still moist, but flesh starts to flake easily with a fork and translucency is gone. Salmon is a bit forgiving, so if it's not quite done, put it back on the grill...but don't cook it until it dries out!) Garnish with lemon slices.
