Grilled Ora King Salmon
- 4 Ora King Salmon fillets
- 1 lb of Asparagus
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Roasted Pepper Vinaigrette
- 3 bell peppers, preferably 2 red, 1 yellow
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F). Brush the cooking grates clean.
- Mix together half of the basil, garlic and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to make an herb marinade.
- Cut the peppers into large pieces and remove the stem and seeds.
- Toss the peppers with half the herb marinade. Grill the peppers over direct high heat until roasted and blistered, 5 to 6 minutes, flipping over after 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, cut the roasted peppers into thick strips and toss them with the honey, remaining basil, white balsamic vinegar and remaining olive oil.
- Marinate the salmon with the second half of the herb marinade. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon over direct high heat for 4-6 minutes, flipping over after 4 minutes.
- As you flip the salmon over, add the cleaned asparagus to the grill and cook over direct high heat for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Remove from the grill and serve salmon with roasted pepper relish and asparagus. This dish goes great with an herbed couscous!
