Vodka Peppered Citrus Glazed Salmon and a Simple Mango Salsa Recipe kchurchill5

• 4 salmon filets
• 1 cup vodka
• 1/4 cup pepper jelly
• 1 large shallot diced fine
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil (1 to top the salmon filets; and 1 to saute the scallions)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 mango diced
• 3 scallions diced fine
• 1 small red pepper fine chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 jalapeno diced, seeds and ribs removed
• 1/2 cup seedless cucumber diced fine (optional ... I like it)

1. I like to make the salsa first and let it set for a bit to absorb all the flavors.
2. In a medium size bowl, mix the mango, scallions, red peppers, jalapeno, lime juice, cumin and cucumber is you decide too.
3. I think it adds a great flavor.
4. Cover and set in the refrigerator to cool.
5. I like to serve this close to room temperature with the fish.
6. Now the salmon.
7. Put the salmon on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or foil to bake.
8. I like to brush the top of the salmon with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
9. While the salmon gets to room temperature ... lets make the vodka glaze.
10. Saute the shallot in 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
11. Add the vodka to deglaze the pan.
12. Add the cumin, salt, pepper, orange juice and pepper jelly.
13. Cook 5 minutes or so until it slightly thickens.
14. To cook the salmon ... use a inside grill pan, outside grill or even the oven.
15. Brush with the jelly glaze continually as the fish cooks.
16. I like to cook on medium high or 400 in the oven for approximately 10-15 minutes until flakey.
17. I dont like to over cook mine.
18. I like to serve this over Jasmine rice and topped with my mango salsa.
