Grilled Salmon
Paired with St. Francis 2004 Chardonnay
Recipe By: Susan Callender Serves 4

This grilled salmon is a wonderful change of pace. The spices readily enhance the fresh taste of the salmon. Once you have tasted salmon prepared this way, you'll serve it often. Any leftover butter mixture keeps in the refrigerator for several weeks. Easy and elegant! A great garnish is thinly sliced red, yellow, green bell peppers, sautéed briefly in the butter mixture.

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened    
1 tablespoon tamarind paste    
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots    
2 teaspoons ground coriander    
2 teaspoons paprika    
2 teaspoons cumin    
1 garlic clove, finely chopped    
1 teaspoon kosher salt    
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper    
4 (6-ounce) wild-caught salmon fillets    
Mango chutney (from a jar)    
Cooked basmati rice    

In a small bowl, stir together butter, tamarind paste, shallots, coriander, paprika, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush salmon fillets with butter mixture to coat about 1/2 hour before grilling and refrigerate until ready to grill. Reserve remaining mixture at room temperature.

Heat grill to medium-high. Grill salmon to your liking, brushing with butter mixture during and after cooking. Serve salmon with chutney, rice, and St Francis 2004 Chardonnay.
