RECIPE
Caramelized Salmon with Okanagan Cherry Salsa
Salmon, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, teams up with Okanagan Cherries for a healthy entrée.
Ingredients:
(Serves 4)
1-1/2 lbs salmon with skin
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp orange peel, grated
½ tsp black pepper, coarsely ground
1 ripe mango or papaya – seeded, peeled, & chopped
1 cup fresh Okanagan cherries, drained & halved
2 Tbsp fresh mint, and basil or cilantro, chopped
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
¼ tsp crushed red pepper
Thaw fish if frozen. Stir together brown sugar, orange peel and pepper. Place fish, skin side down, in a shallow pan. Rub sugar mixture over fish. Cover and refrigerate 2 – 8 hours.
Remove fish from pan, draining off any juices. Place salmon skin side down on grill over medium heat. Grill for 15 – 25 minutes or until salmon flakes easily. Do not turn fish. Meanwhile, toss together mango or papaya, cherries, mint, basil or cilantro, vinegar and red pepper.
