Grilled Salmon With Blackberry-Cabernet Coulis
- 1 cup cabernet sauvignon wine (or other dry red wine)
- 2 1/2 cups blackberries, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 2 -3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 (6 -7 ounce) salmon steaks (1 in. thick, 6 to 7 oz. each)
- salt and pepper
- In a food processor or blender, combine wine and 2 cups berries; whirl until pureed. Rub berry mixture through a fine strainer into a 1 1/2- to 2-quart pan; discard residue. Add shallots, ginger, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Bring berry mixture to a boil over high heat, and stir often until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and more sugar to taste (see notes).
- Rinse salmon and pat dry. Coil belly strips of fish into center of steaks and secure each portion with a small skewer (such as the kind used for trussing turkeys).
- Lay salmon on an oiled grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook fish, turning once, until opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), 7 to 10 minutes.
- Set a salmon steak on each of 6 warm plates (remove skewers if desired). Spoon berry coulis (if cool, stir over high heat until warm, about 1 minute) equally over steaks. Garnish with remaining 1/2 cup whole berries; add salt and pepper to taste.
