Ingredients

  • 4 - ripe plums, unpeeled, pitted, finely diced

  • 1/4 cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 6 8-oz - salmon fillets with skin
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

How To Make grilled salmon with hoisin glaze and plum relish

  • Step 1
    In medium bowl, stir together plums, ginger, and vinegar. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Step 2
    Prepare grill for cooking: If using charcoal grill, open vents on bottom, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 4 to 5 seconds. If using gas grill, preheat burners on high with hood closed 10 minutes, then turn down to moderately high.
  • Step 3
    Rub salmon fillets on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange fillets on grill, skin sides down. Grill, turning once, until just cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes per side, brushing with hoisin sauce during last 30 seconds of cooking on each side.
  • Step 4
    Transfer fillets to platter and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve, passing plum relish on side.
