Number Of Ingredients 9

2 salmon fillets (6 ounces ea)
1 Tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme, minced (divided use)
2 tsp chipotle roasted garlic seasoning (divided use)
3 tsp olive oil, divided use
1 c fresh cherries, pitted
1 tsp fresh garlic, minced
1 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Place salmon in a large ziploc bag. Add the basil, ONLY 1 teaspoon thyme, ONLY 1 teaspoon seasoning, and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Seal the bag and gently massage the oil and herbs into the fish fillets.
  • 2. Preheat the grill. Meanwhile, roughly chop the pitted cherries. Place a small saucepan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Put the garlic and remaining teaspoon of oil in the saucepan. Stir until garlic is fragrant. Add the cherries, vinegar, sugar, remaining teaspoon of the garlic-herb seasoning, and the remaining teaspoon of thyme. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • 3. Grill the salmon for 3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Cook only until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily. Transfer to serving plate and top with the cherry relish.
