This summer, my sister came to stay with us at our rented beach house in Massachusetts. She brought a recipe from Food and Wine magazine that was shared by chef Stephanie Izzard. The recipe was a Grilled Tomato Salad with Mozzarella and Unagi Sauce. It was a bit of a pain to prepare– since you have to grill the tomatoes, which can be tough if the tomatoes begin falling apart! The salad turned out to be really delicious, and it was all because of the sauce drizzled on top.
We immediately determined that the sauce would be perfect for salmon. So that’s how this recipe originated. If you have a really delicious piece of good salmon, you can lightly coat it with olive oil, salt and pepper and grill… brushing lightly with the marinade as you grill. Or if you prefer for the salmon to have the strong flavor of a marinade, you can cover the salmon in the sauce and marinate in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before grilling. Be sure to save some sauce for drizzling after it it cooked.
Leftover, marinated salmon is perfect for topping a great green salad too!
