This is a wonderful recipe with an incredibly versatile sauce.
 
Serves 6
 
For the Salmon
  • 11Ž2 pound Verlasso salmon fillet, without the skin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 bamboo skewers, 3 inches long
 
1.       Pat the salmon dry between paper towels. Cut into 2-3 inch cubes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch non-stick skillet, heat oil over moderately high heat until hot, but not smoking. Sauté the salmon for about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderate, turn and cook the salmon for about 1 minute more. Cool slightly.

3.       To serve, place the skewered salmon on a platter with the chutney in a bowl on the side.
