ingredients

6 (6 ounce size) salmon steaks
olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cans (4.5 ounce size) chopped green chiles
2 green onions, finely chopped
3/4 cup white wine
1 1/2 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
1/2 lime, juiced
salt and pepper, to taste

directions

Sauce: Place the chiles and the chopped green tops of one of the onions in a blender and puree until smooth.

In a skillet, bring the wine and finely chopped onion (white part only) to a boil and reduce by half. Add the cream and continue boiling until entire mixture is reduced by half. Reduce heat and stir in the chile puree and lime juice. Keep warm until salmon is ready to serve.

Salmon: Brush the grill surface and the salmon with olive oil to prevent sticking, and grill the salmon over hot coals, uncovered, no more than 5 minutes per side, depending upon thickness. Baste both sides during grilling with additional olive oil.

Serve at once topped with a generous portion of Green Chile Sauce.
