Indian-Spiced Broiled Salmon with Citrus Tart Cherry Chutney
Ingredients
Citrus Tart Cherry Chutney:
2 cups dried Montmorency tart cherries
1 cup Montmorency tart cherry juice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 cup walnuts, chopped
2 clementines, peeled and separated into sections
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch ground cardamom
Pinch nutmeg
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Broiled Salmon:
4 1/2-pound salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions (yields 4 servings)
Citrus Tart Cherry Chutney:
In a large pot, add the olive oil and heat to medium. Add the onion and sauté until it begins to turn brown, about 8 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the chopped clementines, increase the heat to high and bring mixture to a full boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil and cook (uncovered) for 20 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add the clementines and continue to cook an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally,
until the juices have thickened.
Broiled Salmon:
Place oven on high broil setting and allow the oven to heat all the way.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, turmeric, paprika and salt. Drizzle over salmon fillets (if time permits, refrigerate the marinade-coated salmon for at least 15 minutes for more flavor).
Broil for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fish is cooked through.
Remove from the oven, top with Montmorency tart cherry chutney and serve with wild rice and something green.
