Notable Equipment

  • grill or campfire broiler

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets, about 100g each
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tbsp creamed horseradish
  • 1 tbsp butter, or vegetable oil
  • ½ tsp dried rosemary
  • vegetable oil, to lightly coat salmon
  • salt and pepper to taste; to lightly coat salmon

Instructions

Prep salmon for the grill:

  • 1. Pre-heat grill to medium-high heat
  • 2. With a paper towel, pat salmon to remove moisture (this prevents sticking)
  • 3. Lightly coat with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
  • 4. Barbecue directly on grill skin down for 7 - 10 minutes. Flip and grill flesh side down for an addition 5-7 minutes Tip: Salmon usually takes about 15 minutes per inch of thickness (at thickest part) When done, thermometer should read 145℉.

While salmon is cooking, prepare the sauce:

  • 5. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter or warm vegetable oil. Once melted (or warmed), add rosemary. Allow to cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  • 6. Add applesauce and horseradish. Bring to a light simmer. Reduce heat to low to keep warm until salmon is finished cooking.
  • 7. Once salmon is cooked, dollop about 1 tbsp of sauce on top of each filet. Feel free to add more as per taste preference.

Notes

  • The sauce makes 0.5 cups worth - which is more than enough for 4 fillets. I recommend using 1 tbsp per fillet as to not overpower the salmon. Feel free to use more - especially if serving the fish over a grain like quinoa or rice.
