Ingredients

• 1 cup apple or hickory wood chips (Optional)
• ¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
• ¼ cup cider vinegar
• ¼ cup apple juice
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 4 (4 to 5 ounce) fresh or frozen salmon fillets with skin, cut 1-inch thick
• ⅛ teaspoon salt

Directions

Instructions

• Step 1: If using wood chips, soak wood chips in enough water to cover for at least 1 hour before grilling. Drain before using. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels.
• Step 2: For marinade, combine bell pepper, vinegar, apple juice, and oil in a small bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade. Place salmon in a large resealable bag. Pour remaining marinade over the salmon in the bag. Seal bag; turn gently to coat the salmon. Place in a shallow dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Step 3: Remove the salmon from the marinade, discarding leftover marinade. Sprinkle tops of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Core apples. Trim tops and bottoms off the apples and discard. Cut the apples horizontally into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Lightly coat both sides of the apple slices with cooking spray. Combine allspice and cardamom in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the apple slices.
