This is a terrific way to fix salmon...and it's so easy to do. The marinade mellows the fish flavor, and the dill sauce is a wonderful complement. I once served this recipe to 12 people from the Pacific Northwest who declared it was the best salmon they'd ever eaten! -Deb Essen, Victor, Montana

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 salmon steaks, about 1/2 pound each (or a 1 1/2-pound fillet)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (basil-flavored if available)
2 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped fine
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds okra, trimmed
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/2 cup basil leaves
Basil sprigs to garnish

Steps:

Season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper, and sprinkle them with two tablespoons olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, vinegar and peanut oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Preheat grill. Heat the peanut oil in a large heavy skillet and add the okra. Sprinkle with the cumin, salt and pepper, and cook over moderate heat, turning frequently, until the okra is golden-brown and somewhat crusty (about 15 minutes).
Grill the salmon steak for three to four minutes on each side for medium rare. Snip the basil leaves and add them to the salsa. Spoon the salsa over the salmon, and garnish with basil sprigs. Serve immediately, passing the okra separately.
