Sweet And Saucy Grilled Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 salmon fillets, skinned (2 inches wide)
    1/2 cup jalapeno jelly
    2 scallions, rough cut
    1/2 cup cilantro, stems okay
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 teaspoon lime zest
    2 tablespoons butter
    aluminum foil, folded into a little tray
Preparation
    Put the jelly, scallions, cilantro, garlic, and lime zest into a food processor. Pulse the processor until the mixture is finely pureed.
    Put in a small saucepan over medium heat, bubbling away for 2-3 minutes. Add to the butter and mix while it all melts into the sauce. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
    Put the salmon face-down (presentation side) onto the foil. You are putting it face-down because during cooking, you will turn the fish over one time only, therefore ending-up with the pretty side face-up so you can re-glaze at the end.
    Now brush the less-attractive bottom side (which is now face-up) with the sauce.
    Put the aluminum foil trays with your salmon onto the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon fillets over with tongs.
    With a spoon, put a thick layer of the glaze on top and let the salmon finish cooking.
    Plate the salmon. Add a little more glaze on top and garnish it with lemon and cilantro.
