Grilled Salmon with Melted Tomatoes - foodfiend - 10-21-2010 I have to share this one. I was going to make the salmon with bourbon glaze last night, but then remembered this recipe I had seen in the August F&W. I have a lot of tomatoes and a lot of jalapeno peppers, so I decided to make it. And how good it was! The thing about the peppers-- they didn't add much heat at all. I had deseeded them completely, so next time I've noted to seed only about half. I ended up sprinkling powdered jalapeno over to get a little more of a "bite". Anyway, this was very quick and incredibly good. I served w/ garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. * Exported from MasterCook * Grilled Salmon with Melted Tomatoes Recipe By:adapted slightly from Marcia Kiesel Servings: 5 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3 tablespoons olive oil 5 whole jalapenos 2 pounds red ripe tomatoes -- coarsely chopped 32 ounces salmon fillet -- cut into two pieces Remove stem from jalapenos and slice thinly. For a mild dish, remove all seeds and transfer the pepper "circles" to a plate. The more seeds that are left with the peppers, the hotter the finished dish will be. In a large, deep skillet heat olive oil. Add the jalapenos in a single layer and cook over moderately low heat without stirring until softened, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the jalapenos to a small plate and set aside. Preheat a grill or grill pan. Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook over high heat until they release their juices, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon transfer the tomatoes to a bowl, the boil the remaining tomato juices in the pan over high heat or until thickened, adding any additional accumulated juices from the bowl. * Return the tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt. Rub the salmon on both sides with olive oil, and grill over moderate heat for about 5 minutes, turn carefully with a wide spatula, season with s & p and continue to grill until the salmon is opaque in the center (3-6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish). Toward the end of the grilling time, reheat the tomatoes gently in the pan. Spoon the tomatoes and their juices onto a serving platter, place the salmon fillets on top, and cover the fish with the jalapenos.

The was so little that I decided that they would probably burn in the pan if I tried to reduce them. So I killed that entire step of removing the tomatoes from the pan and reducing the excess juices. Oh, and I also simplified the cooking process for the fish. The recipe was originally for 10 people, using a single 4-1/2 pound salmon fillet. There were instructions for using foil to place the fish on the grill, then using more foil to flip it whole to grill the other side. I halved the recipe and cut the 2-pound piece of salmon in half which was a perfectly manageable-with-a-spatula size. edited to add sat fat number...
