    List of Ingredients




    2 large fresh ripe tomatoes, or 3 or 4 ripe plum tomatoes, cored
    1/2 large white onion, peeled and minced
    1/4 habanero or jalapeno chili, stemmed, seeded and minced,
    or to taste
    1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley leaves
    Juice of 3 or 4 limes, to taste
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    1 salmon fillet, about 1 1/2 pounds, preferably with skin on
    2 tablespoons neutral oil, like corn or canola

    Recipe



    1. Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be moderately hot and grill rack about 4 inches from heat source. Or, heat oven to 500F degrees.

    2. Chop tomatoes and combine them in a bowl with onion, chili, cilantro, lime juice and some salt. Set aside.

    3. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. If grilling, rub fish with a little oil as well; put it on grill, skin side down, and let it sit for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn once (don't worry if part of skin sticks to grill). Cook for about 3 minutes more, until medium-rare.

    If roasting, heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for a minute. Add oil and, a few seconds later, salmon, skin side up. Sear for a minute, then transfer to oven and roast until medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Allow to rest for a minute or so, then remove skin. Turn over and serve, passing salsa at the table.
