These are absolutely divine ~ and in hindsight the only thing I'd do differently is to place the sauce beneath the pinwheels to provide a better view of the handiwork... [Featured, I found on 2-24-12 at: http://www.fast-and-easy-recipes.com/mexican-salmon-recipe/] |

INGREDIENTS
***Halibut and Salmon Pinwheels
2 (6 oz.) skinless and boneless king salmon fillets
2 (6 oz.) skinless and boneless halibut fillets
2 tablespoons extra light olive oil
4 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
4 tablespoons almond seeds, toasted, and finely chopped
kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste
--Toothpicks
--Cooking spray
***Mango Puree (Yields 2-1/2 cups)
1 mango, peeled, deseeded, and chopped
¼ red onion, chopped1 plum tomato, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
Butterflied (not cut through in center) |
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honeykosher salt and ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Grilling pinwheels |
--Grape tomatoes
METHOD
Combine all of the Mango Puree ingredients, except the olive oil and pulse a few times in blender, and then puree for 1 minute until smooth. Drizzle in the olive oil while pureeing for 15 seconds longer, and set aside.
Heat a stovetop grill pan (or skillet) to medium-high heat, and spray with oil. Pat dry each of the pinwheels, and spray with oil, and then coat with toasted seed and nut mixture, pressing securely so they adhere. Place in hot grill pan, and cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes, for a total of 6 to 8 minutes (please do not over cook or fish will be dry).
To serve, drizzle a bit of Mango Salsa Puree onto serving platter, remove toothpics from pinwheels and place over sauce. Serve remaining Mango Salsa Puree in a small dish along side. I serve this with steamed jasmine rice, and fresh grape tomatoes. – Enjoy!
