Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 salmon fillets, skinned (2 inches wide)
• 1/2 cup jalapeno jelly
• 2 scallions, rough cut
• 1/2 cup cilantro, stems okay
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons butter
• aluminum foil, folded into a little tray

Recipe

• 1 put the jelly, scallions, cilantro, garlic, and lime zest into a food processor. pulse the processor until the mixture is finely pureed.
• 2 put in a small saucepan over medium heat, bubbling away for 2-3 minutes. add to the butter and mix while it all melts into the sauce. remove from heat and allow to cool.
• 3 put the salmon face-down (presentation side) onto the foil. you are putting it face-down because during cooking, you will turn the fish over one time only, therefore ending-up with the pretty side face-up so you can re-glaze at the end.
• 4 now brush the less-attractive bottom side (which is now face-up) with the sauce.
• 5 put the aluminum foil trays with your salmon onto the grill. cook for 6-8 minutes. carefully flip the salmon fillets over with tongs.
• 6 with a spoon, put a thick layer of the glaze on top and let the salmon finish cooking.
• 7 plate the salmon. add a little more glaze on top and garnish it with lemon and cilantro.
