Recipe: #17107
February 01, 2015
"My DH is an avid fisherman & we are lucky to live in a country where the seafood supply is bountiful. We are esp fond of salmon & prefer it grilled w/the smoky, lime flavor of this mango chutney based marinade. I use the marinade all day & then reserve it to use for a sauce I make while my DH grills the salmon. The combo of the grilled salmon w/the marinade sauce has been a big hit w/our friends & family. ENJOY!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine the 8 marinade ingredients (plus Old Bay if using) in lrg plastic bag, add salmon fillets & marinate for 6-8 hrs before grilling. Reserve marinade for Steps 2&3.
Step 2
While salmon grills, transfer reserved marinade to a sml saucepan by pressing through a sieve. This allows the bulk & flavors of the garlic & chutney to join the sauce w/o making it chunky.
Step 3
Over low-med heat only, add cream cheese by the spoonful & incorporate it into the marinade until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Remember this sauce will thicken further as it cools & is not meant to resemble gravy. It should be a lightly-creamed glaze that still shines w/the flavors of the marinade.
Step 4
NOTE FROM ME: For those who might like to try an alcohol-flavored marinade option, I've been using a cognac extract add lately that we adore & guests have esp appreciated. I suppose that a bit of the real thing or other extracts would also work well, but give it a try if the idea appeals to you.
