Sometimes you need to resurrect an already-existing-but-lacking recipe.

In this case, ingredients were in need of some tweaking and better photos needed to be snapped (though thanks to the mass of charcoal clouds that crawled across the sky to rob me of light as I grilled this gem, “better photos” is arguable).

I originally developed this recipe three summers ago, but I’d used canned stewed tomatoes and a few splashes of bottled dressing.

But we’ve evolved.

This recipe now uses freshly diced tomatoes and a tangy garlicky balsamic and olive oil blend that makes freshness POP.

Ingredients

  • 2 6 oz skin-on salmon fillets
  • 2 TBSP (divided) canola or vegetable oil
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Bruschetta Mix

  • 1 large tomato diced
  • 1/4 red onion diced
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil plus extra for garnish
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Materials

  • 2 large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil, one for each fillet

Instructions

  • Heat the grill to medium heat.
  • Combine all of the bruschetta mix ingredients into a bowl, mix, and set aside.
  • Lightly grease the aluminum foil squares with 1/2 TBSP of cooking oil each; brush the remaining cooking oil over the skin-sides and top-sides of your fillets. Use a bit more if needed.
  • Place the foil onto the grill, and transfer the fish onto the tin foil, flesh side down to start. Grill for 5 mins. Flip the fish over, and spoon the bruschetta mixture onto the fillets (you can save a little extra to top the fillets off once they're cooked, if you wish). Cover the grill, and grill for another 5-7 minutes or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and is opaque in the center.
