Donna's Grilled Salmon with Tamarind-Cranberry Sauce Glaze

Hi to All.  It has been a busy day preparing for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday as you may also have been doing.  So, tonight I wanted to make something quick, and one of my go-to recipes is a delicious and easy grilled salmon with whatever topping you want to glaze the fish with.  Since I had extra whole cranberry sauce prepared, I added some tamarind to boost the flavor and topped it with fresh basil.  With a grill time of 20 minutes, we had dinner on the table in no time flat!  Best, Donna:

Donna's Grilled Salmon with Tamarind-Cranberry Sauce Glaze

Ingredients:

One 2 pound salmon fillet

Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup whole cranberry sauce (homemade or store brand)

1 Tablespoon pure Tamarind concentrate, if desired

1 Tablespoon basil leaves, chopped

Method:

Preheat grill to 400° F.  Place salmon skin-side down and season fish by drizzling with olive oil, and adding salt and pepper to taste.  Mix cranberry sauce with tamarind concentrate, if using, and spread on top of fillet to cover.  Top with chopped basil.  Grill on indirect heat for about 15 - 20 minutes or until done, depending upon thickness of fillet.

Serves 4 - 5.
