Grilled Salmon with
Emerald Kiwifruit Salsa
AQUAGOLD SEAFOOD
3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon Chesapeake Bay-style seafood seasoning
4 6-ounce boneless, skinless fresh Atlantic salmon fillets
EMERALD KIWIFRUIT SALSA
2 large kiwis, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots or red onion
1 serrano or small jalapeño chile, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon Chesapeake Bay-style seafood seasoning (or to taste)
1. Preheat indoor countertop nonstick grill or “fire up” outdoor grill.
2. In a small bowl, combine maple syrup and Chesapeake Bay seasoning.
Lightly brush on both sides of salmon.
3. Prepare Emerald Kiwifruit Salsa: Combine kiwis, shallots, chile and
cilantro. Taste before adding just enough maple syrup to soften any harsh
tartness. Gradually add Chesapeake Bay seasoning to taste. Serve at room
temperature or chilled.
4. Grill salmon just until done. For 1-inch-thick fillets, allow about 5
minutes on indoor grill. On outdoor grill, turn salmon after 4 minutes;
grill second side, checking for doneness after 4 minutes.
5. Serve salmon with salsa. Makes 4 servings.
