SALMON WITH RED ONION MARMALADE

Salmon grills well but is most successful when it is at least an inch thick. The red onion marmalade is rich and delicious. Puréed black currants work as well as crème de cassis.

INGREDIENTS
4 salmon steaks, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper

FOR THE RED ONION MARMALADE
5 medium red onions, peeled and finely sliced
4 tablespoons butter
¾ cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup crème de cassis
1/4 cup grenadine
1/4 cup red wine

SERVES 4

1. Use your hands to rub the olive oil into the salmon flesh and season with plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

2. Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan and add the sliced onions. Saute the onions for 5 minutes, until golden brown.

3. Stir in the vinegar, crème de cassis, grenadine and wine and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, until the liquid has almost entirely evaporated and the onions are glazed. Season well.

4. Brush the fish with a little more oil and cook on a medium grill for 6—8 minutes, turning once.
