GRILLED SALMON WITH TOMATOES & BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Mash minced garlic and 3/4 t salt in a small bowl to form a paste, stir in oil.
• Check the salmon for pin bones and remove if necessary. Measure out a piece of heavy-duty foil (or use a double layer of regular foil) large enough for the salmon fillet. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil and spread the garlic mixture over it. Sprinkle with 1/3 C basil. Overlap tomato slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining salt and the pepper.
• Transfer the salmon on the foil to the grill. Grill until the fish flakes easily, 10-12 minutes. Use two large spatulas to slide the salmon from the foil to a serving platter.
• Serve the salmon sprinkled with the remaining 1/4 C basil.

HERB-GRILLED SALMON WITH FRESH TOMATO-ORANGE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Brush the grill grates lightly with the safflower oil. Prepare a very hot fire in a gas or charcoal grill.The fire should be bright red and flaming hot. Rub the grates with the cut side of the russet potato (the starch from the potato keeps the fish from sticking). (Note:You can use a stove top grill pan instead of an outdoor grill, if desired, although the flavor will not be quite the same.)
• Place the salmon on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, skin side down. Drizzle the orange juice over the flesh side of the salmon. Coat evenly with the olive oil, basil, dill, salt, and pepper. Lightly press the herb leaves into the flesh so they adhere.
• Place the salmon flesh side down (skin side up) on the grill (reserve the foil) and cook 6 to 8 minutes.
• Turn the salmon over and place it skin side down on the foil. Pour the remaining orange juice over the salmon. Put the salmon in the foil on the grates over the fire and cook uncovered 8 to 10 minutes longer, until the fish starts to flake but is still a little fleshy in the center. (Note:The fish will continue to cook as it rests.) Remove from the grill and let rest, loosely covered, for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the skin and discard. Transfer the fish to a platter or serve portions on individual plates. Serve immediately, topped with chutney and fresh herb leaves.
• Fresh Tomato-Orange Chutney
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Toss the yellow pear tomatoes and red grape tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the vinegar to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer on a baking pan and place in the oven to roast about 30minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Grate the zest from the oranges and place the zest in a bowl. Trim the peel and the white pith from the oranges and discard. Cut the oranges into sections and add them to the bowl with the zest.
• Add the tomatoes, scallions, ginger, and the remaining olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, jalapeño, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns, basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl and stir to mix thoroughly. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use or up to 3 days.

• Spread the cauliflower florets on one half of a 24-inch-long piece of foil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon garam masala and dot with the butter; season with salt and pepper. Fold the foil over the cauliflower and crimp the edges to seal and form a packet. Season the salmon with salt, pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon garam masala.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the foil packet on one side of the grill until the packet is puffed and the cauliflower is lightly charred and tender, about 6 minutes per side. Grill the salmon on the other side of the grill until opaque but still pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Grill the naan until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side; cut into wedges.
• Carefully open the foil packet and toss the cauliflower with the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro. Top the salmon with the tomato-ginger sauce and serve with the cauliflower and naan.
