Preparation

Sauce:

Measure all ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Season to taste. Refrigerate for at least 2 hrs for flavours to blend.

Reserve 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) and use remaining sauce to brush on salmon during cooking.

Brush salmon steaks with butter. Pre-heat grill to medium. Place salmon steaks on grill. Cook 4 to 5 min per side, brushing cooked sides with sauce. Serve salmon steaks immediately with reserved sauce.
