Salmon with Salsa Fresca image

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large fresh ripe tomatoes (or 3 or 4 ripe plum tomatoes), cored and diced
1/2 large white onion, peeled and minced
1/4 habanero or jalapeno chili, stemmed, seeded and minced, or to taste
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro or flat leaf parsley leaves
1 lime, juiced (or more)
1 salmon fillet, about 1 1/2 lb, preferably with skin on

Steps:

  • Start charcoal or gas grill; fire should be moderately hot and grill rack about 4 inches from heat source. Or, heat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Chop tomatoes and combine them in bowl with onion, chili, cilantro, lime juice and some salt. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. If grilling, rub fish with a little oil as well; put it on grill, skin side down, and let it sit for 4-5 minute, then turn once. Cook for abut 3 minutes more, until medium rare.
  • If roasting, heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for a minute. Add oil and, a few seconds later, salmon, skin side up. Sear for a minute, then transfer to oven and roast until medium rare, about 10 minutes. Allow to rest for a minute or so, then remove skin. Turn over and serve, passing salsa at table.
