Salmon With Curried Vanilla Rum-Butter Sauce image

I must say that the sauce is the star here and please don't feel limited to using it only with salmon. I've used it successfully with grilled shrimp and a roast chicken too.

1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 vanilla bean, split
1/4 cup amber colored rum
