For the Salvadorian Cabbage Relish

Method

Prepare the Guava Glaze

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine guava paste, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  2. 2

    Heat the Glaze

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Salmon

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Brush Salmon with Olive Oil

    Lightly brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 5

    Grill Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, brushing with guava glaze during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Cook the Jalapeno Rice

  1. 6

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 7

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, chopped jalapeno, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 8

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Make the Salvadorian Cabbage Relish

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine.

  2. 10

    Let it Marinate

    Let the relish sit for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 11

    Plate the Rice

    On each plate, place a portion of jalapeno rice as the base.

  2. 12

    Add Salmon

    Place a grilled salmon fillet on top of the jalapeno rice.

  3. 13

    Top with Guava Glaze

    Drizzle the guava glaze over the salmon.

  4. 14

    Add Cabbage Relish

    Finally, add a generous portion of Salvadorian cabbage relish on top of the salmon.
