| Grilled Filet of Salmon with a Decadent Chocolate Sauce | ||||||||
| As a young man, I was a line cook in a small Itallian restaurant in a sleepy little fishing village outside of Toscana. The Head Chef, Tomas di Mateo, was something of a trend setter and constantly pushed the boundaries of food and dining. He told me how to make this dish. At first I was taken aback by it but trust me, it's delcious. | ||||||||

| As I have said before, It is very important to establish a good relationship with your local fish monger. You will need three pounds of fresh salmon. Make sure to smell the salmon. It should not smell like fish. It should smell like the ocean. Season both sides of the fish with sea salt, pepper, and onion powder. Drizzle with olive oil. Place the fish on a hot grill pan and cook for three minutes on each side. To prepare the sauce, melt 1 stick of butter and 1/2 pound of chocolate in a double boiler. When the chocolate is completly melted add 1 cup of heavy cream. To serve, pour the chocolate sauce on the plate and place the filet on top of the sauce. Salud!! |
