SALMON WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS IN FOIL

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, parsley, capers, oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Place each salmon fillet on a sheet of aluminum foil and top with a few tablespoons of the tomato mixture. Fold the foil sheets into packets. (If making this recipe in advance, store the packets on a baking sheet in the refrigerator until time to grill.)
• Place the packets on the grill and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes for medium.

• For the butter: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Blend until the sun-dried tomatoes are finely chopped. Place in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Serve the salmon with a dollop of the sun-dried tomato butter on top.

• Spray barbecue rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place salmon, skin side down, in large glass baking dish. Top with remaining marinade. Let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• To grill salmon using fish basket:
• Spray basket with nonstick spray. Place salmon in fish basket, folding tail under if fish is too long. Place basket on barbecue and grill salmon, skin side up, 5 minutes. Turn basket over; grill salmon until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer. Turn salmon out onto platter.
• To grill salmon without using a basket:
• Spray rimless baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place salmon, skin side up, on sheet. Spray skin with nonstick spray. Slide salmon, skin side up, onto barbecue. Grill 5 minutes. Stand blade of large spatula at 1 long side of salmon to hold in place. From opposite side, slide rimless baking sheet completely under salmon. Hold salmon with spatula; turn sheet and salmon over, releasing salmon, skin side down, onto barbecue. Grill salmon until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer. Slide baking sheet under salmon; transfer fish to platter. Serve with salsa.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauce -- In a small saute pan on medium heat, add the wine and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it reduces by half.
• Add in the capers, lemon and butter (make sure the butter is cold), a little at a time and whisk to combine all the butter. Cook another minute or two.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO CEDAR PLANK SALMON

Steps:

• Soak the cedar planks in water for several hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Brush the planks with olive oil.
• Cut the salmon fillet into three portions. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle parsley and sun-dried tomatoes over the top. Drizzle with salad dressing.
• Place the planks on the preheated grill and let them heat up for about 5 minutes. Place the salmon fillets on the planks. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Fish is done when it can be flaked with a fork. Remove quickly to avoid over cooking and drying out the fish. Serve piping hot.

GRILLED FISH WITH A SUN-DRIED BASIL TOMATO BUTTER

Steps:

• Butter -- Mix the butter, tomatoes, basil, and shallots together in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. This can easily be done ahead.
• Fish and Marinade -- Remove the fish from the refrigerator and set on the counter in a small dish. Mix the olive oil, vinegar, and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl and brush on both sides of the fish. Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes. This will also let the fish come to room temperature before you cook it.
• Fish -- I prefer to grill this dish. Inside or outside. But you can also pan sear and even broil. Make sure to season the fish well on both sides with salt and pepper before cooking. Use whichever method you prefer. I lightly oiled my grill pan just with a non stick spray and grill on both sides until golden brown and firm to the touch. I can't give exact cooking times, because each type of fish will be different. You want it opaque, firm and flaky but just once it gets to that point. Fish should not be overcooked.
• Serve -- Top each fillet with a spoon of the chilled butter. It will melt and give the fish an amazing flavor.
• Quick cooking couscous and pan seared fresh spinach makes this a 15 minute healthy meal. And don't forget - this is great over steak, chicken or pork. The only difference is - you need to marinate it for a much longer period.
• ENJOY!
