I created this sweet and spicy salmon after being challenged to use healthier ingredients. The fresh plum sauce really complements the smoky grilled fish. -Cheryl Hochstettler, Richmond, Texas

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop two plums; place in a small saucepan. Add water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until plums are softened and liquid is almost evaporated. Cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor; add ketchup, chipotle, sugar and oil. Process until pureed. Reserve 3/4 cup sauce for serving., Sprinkle salmon with salt; place on a greased grill rack, skin side up.
