Grilled Salmon with Grilled Red Onions

Char-grilled, red onions pair perfectly with simply grilled salmon.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 pounds salmon fillet
2 red onions, peeled
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3/4 teaspoon salt - divided use
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper - divided use

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat grill.
2. Divide salmon into six pieces. Slice red onions about 1/2-inch thick crosswise.
3. In a shallow dish, mix olive oil with peanut oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Add onions and turn to coat evenly. Grill for 5 minutes, turn, and grill another 5 minutes or until soft and starting to brown.
4. Meanwhile, season the salmon with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper then brush with the oil mixture. Place on the grill for 3 minutes, turn and grill for 3 more minutes, or until opaque. Serve with onions.
