GRILLED SALMON IN A FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.

• Chargrill the zested lime halves on the cut side until griddle lines appear - it should take 2-3 minutes.
• Serve the salmon with green beans and rice mixed with corn, chopped cherry tomatoes and coriander. Garnish with the grilled limes and a little extra thyme.

GRILLED CARIBBEAN SALMON STEAKS WITH FRESH FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Lay the salmon steaks on a cutting board. With a sharp chef's knife cut the bone on either side. Remove bone and discard. You now have 2 pieces for each steak.
• Turn one half of the salmon steak over; with skin side out, lightly press the thick fleshy parts together. You now have two tail pieces on opposite ends.
• Fold the right side tail piece around the left flesh; Fold the left side tail piece around the right flesh. You now have a salmon steak resembling a pin wheel.
• Skewer each salmon steak, through one tail piece, into the thick flesh of both halves, and through the opposite tail piece. This will hold it together while cooking.
• Heat 1/2 the butter and 1/2 cooking oil together, over medium heat. Watch it does not burn.
• Cook salmon steaks 5 - 6 minutes on each side. (If you have a ridged griddle pan, use it; it will imprint lovely cooked ridges, and will not allow meat to stick).
• To prepare the salsa: combine mango, papaya, plum, and peach.
• In an appropriately sized sauce pan, combine white wine (or rum if you prefer), with lemon juice, lemon zest and brown sugar; bring to a rapid boil.
• Turn down heat under liquid and allow to simmer.
• Add fruit from Step 7, and cook slowly until mixture thickens and begins to resemble chutney; remove from heat.
• At this point, add avocado, champagne grapes and chopped parsley. Mix carefully to heat through. This method will prevent bursting of the tiny grapes.
• Divide Fresh Fruit Salsa evenly, and spoon equally over salmon steak pinwheels.
• Serve with your favourite accompaniments, such as rice; orzo; cous cous; or CooKoo (see CooKoo from Barbados Recipe #61903).
