Yield
Makes 6 (main course) servings

Ingredients

4 ripe plums, unpeeled, pitted and finely diced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced

1/4 cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar

6 (8-ounce) salmon fillets with skin

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons freshly coarse-ground black pepper

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

1/4 cup scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation

Step 1
In medium bowl, stir together plums, ginger, and vinegar. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 2
Prepare grill for cooking: If using charcoal grill, open vents on bottom, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 4 to 5 seconds. If using gas grill, preheat burners on high with hood closed 10 minutes, then turn down to moderately high.
Step 3
Rub salmon fillets on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange fillets on grill, skin sides down. Grill, turning once, until just cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes per side, brushing with hoisin sauce during last 30 seconds of cooking on each side.
Step 4
Transfer fillets to platter and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve, passing plum relish on side.
