Salmon with a Pineapple, Mango, and Strawberry Salsa
The mixed fruit salsa here is light and refreshing—the perfect accompaniment to grilled fish in the summertime. Try to buy wild-caught salmon and, if possible, get the West Coast variety.
Four 6-ounce pieces of salmon fillet, skin on
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons emeril’s original essence or Creole seasoning (page 25)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper pineapple, mango, and strawberry salsa (recipe follows)
1. Preheat a grill to medium.
2. Brush both sides of the salmon with the olive oil, and season with the Original Essence, salt, and pepper. Place the fish on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 3 minutes. Then rotate the fish 45 degrees and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Turn the fish over, and cook for 2 minutes, or until cooked to the desired degree of doneness.
3. Transfer the fish to a platter or individual plates, spoon the fruit salsa over it, and serve immediately.
