Simple Saturday: Sweet Pepper Salmon with Garlic Broccolini

It was a glorious summer day, (one of the few we've had in the Northwest,) and we were determined to grill something both delicious and healthy.  This grilled salmon and broccolini dinner was a delight, and simple to whip up in just a few minutes!

Ingredients
Salmon:
2 lb wild salmon filet, with skin
1/2 jar (about 2/3 cup) Tastefully Simple Sweet Pepper Jalapeño Jam
Broccolini:
2 bunches broccolini
1 Tbsp Tastefully Simple Garlic Infused Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic

Preparation
  • In a shallow bowl, combine broccolini, Garlic Infused Olive Oil, and Garlic Garlic.  Toss well.  Set aside.
  • Preheat grill on high heat.  Spread approximately 1/4 of the jam on meaty side of salmon.  Grill, meaty side down, for approximately two minutes until jam begins to caramelize.
  • Turn grill down to medium-high heat.  Flip salmon over so that the scaly side is down.  Add broccolini to grill, (on upper rack if available,) pouring any remaining liquids on top.  (Careful - pouring too much oil on a hot grill at once can cause it to flame up, so pour slowly.)
  • Spread approximately 1/2 of the remaining jam on top of salmon.  Cover and cook for several minutes, then add remaining jam and continue cooking.  Meanwhile, turn broccolini every few minutes so that it becomes tender, and not blackened.
  • Cook broccolini until tender.  Cook salmon until opaque and flaky.
Serves: 8
