• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 28 ounces wild salmon fillets, skin on bones removed (4 7-oz fillets)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• kosher salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup smoked almonds or 1 cup almonds, lightly crushed
• 8 fresh sage leaves
• 1 teaspoon orange zest, grated
• 2 peaches, firm and sliced

Directions:

1. Preheat an outdoor gas grill to medium low, or a charcoal grill for indirect cooking.
2. Brush salmon with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Grill, skin side down, until nicely browned, about 5 or 6 minutes; flip and cook until medium, about 3 to 6 minutes, depending on thickness.
4. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the butter; it will sizzle and foam before it subsides and you are left with a nutty brown butter, about 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the almonds; next stir in the sage leaves.
6. Stir in the orange zest, peaches, making sure to stir well before each successive addition; season with salt and pepper.
7. Transfer the salmon to individual serving plates and spoon the sauce over each; serve.
