Best Grilled Salmon With Curried Peach Sauce Recipes

GRILLED SALMON WITH CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Cover dried chilies with some boiling water and allow to stand until softened, usually about 15 minutes. Handling carefully, so the chilies do not burn your hands, mince with scissors. If you are using fresh chilies, simply slice into rings.
• Dissolve tamarind paste in about a cup of water.
• Heat butter in a large skillet, then add onions. Let them caramelize slightly, then stir in 1 teaspoon each of turmeric and cumin powder. After a few minutes add dissolved tamarind paste, minced chilies, ginger, coconut milk and salt to taste. Since this will be rather thick, add some water. Then simmer to allow all these spices and flavors to marry. To add a little brightness, add the juice of an orange. Lime or lemon might be better. The sauce can be made ahead and reheated before grilling your fish. **The heat of this sauce is tempered by the flavor of the salmon. It can also be tempered with some raita or chutney on the side, or even just plain yogurt. OR instead of using 2 chilies, just use one.**.
• Sprinkle salmon with salt, a teaspoon of turmeric and a light dusting of cumin powder.
• Grill salmon over a hot fire, being careful not to overcook. Fresh salmon is far better when slightly rare, JMHO. I start with grilling the fleshy side down first. After 3-4 minutes, turn carefully so that skin side is down and grill another 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillet. As you remove from the grill, the skin, which I don't find appetizing, will stick to the grill, easily skinning your fresh grilled fillet.
• Serve with the curry sauce and garnish with cilantro. Wash down with a chilled rose wine.

GRILLED SALMON WITH PEACH CURRY AND COCONUT CREAM

Steps:

• Make the curry
• In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until shimmery. Add the garlic, ginger, and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic begins to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring often, until very fragrant and a shade darker in color, about 4 minutes more. Add the peaches, stir well, and cook for a minute or so to allow the curry flavors to begin to season the peaches.
• Add the palm sugar and orange juice, increase the heat to medium-high, and let it all come to a strong simmer. Cook, adjusting the heat to maintain the simmer, until the peaches are cooked through but not mushy and the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes. Keep warm.
• Make the dish
• In a small pot, bring the coconut cream to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until it has reduced by about half (it'll have the texture of barely whipped cream), 18 to 20 minutes. Keep warm.
• Fire up a grill to cook with an area of medium heat and an area of low heat. Pat the salmon dry, spending a little extra time on the skin side. Rub just enough of the avocado oil onto the fillets to coat them with a very thin layer (excess oil will lead to flare-ups). Once the grill is ready, evenly season the salmon all over with the salt. Grill the salmon, skin-side down, on the area of medium heat until the skin is golden, a bit charred, and crispy, about 3 minutes.
• Carefully run a metal spatula between the grates and the skin (if the skin hasn't released from the grates just yet, wait another minute), then flip the fillets onto the area of low heat and cook until the salmon is cooked to your preference. For me, that's medium-rare to medium, when the center is light pink with a bit of translucence, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the peach curry to a serving bowl or platter and top with the salmon, skin-side up. Drizzle on the coconut cream, then the jalapeño oil, and sprinkle on the Thai basil. Serve right away.
