Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh black pepper
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
• 4, 4-oz. wild (or farm-raised) salmon steaks

Method

In a small bowl, combine cranberries, orange juice, zest and vinegar. Allow cranberries to soak while preheating grill. In a small bowl, combine oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Brush salmon steaks with oil mixture. Grill steaks on preheated grill 4 to 5 minutes on first side. Turn. Top each steak with 2-3 tablespoons of the cranberries. Grill an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until salmon is done.

Notes: To insure that the salmon does not stick, preheat grill and lightly oil. Farm-raised salmon can be substituted for wild. I love to serve this atop a salad of micro greens dressed simply with a vinegrette that has a touch of orange juice and balsamic vinegar.

Number of servings: 4
