Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp.

    Chopped red onion

  • 2

    large ripe nectarines

  • 1

    small red pepper

  • 1

    jalapeño chile

  • 2 Tbsp.

    fresh lime juice

  • 1 Tbsp.

    chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1/2 tsp.

    salt

  • 1/4 tsp.

    coarsely ground black pepper

  • 1 Tbsp.

    dried tarragon

  • 4

    piece skinless salmon fillet

  • 1 tsp.

    olive oil

Directions

    1. Step 1Grease clean grill grate. Prepare outdoor grill for covered, direct grilling on medium.
    2. Step 2Meanwhile, in cup, place chopped red onion; cover with cold water and let sit 10 minutes. (This will take some of the sharpness out of the raw onion.) In medium bowl, stir together remaining salsa ingredients: chopped nectarines, chopped red pepper, finely chopped jalapeño, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.
    3. Step 3In small bowl, combine tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper. Brush salmon with oil and rub with tarragon mixture to coat both sides.
    4. Step 4Place salmon on hot grill grate. Cover grill and cook salmon 8 to 10 minutes or until it turns opaque throughout, turning over once with large spatula. Transfer to platter.
    5. Step 5Drain onion well. Stir onion into nectarine mixture. Serve nectarine salsa with grilled salmon.

Tips & Techniques

ReciTip: We love the ease of salmon fillets, but if you find it easier to cook and turn salmon steaks, simply use the 10-minutes-per-inch-of-thickness rule as a guide for your cooking time.
