Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
  • 1/4 cup hulled raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 3 limes, cut into scant 1/4-inch-thick rounds, plus 1 teaspoon grated zest and 3 tablespoons fresh juice
  • 2 oranges, cut into scant 1/4-inch-thick rounds, plus 1 teaspoon grated zest and 3 tablespoons fresh juice
  • 1 cup lightly packed cilantro sprigs
  • 1 jalapeño, halved lengthwise (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 to 3 pounds skin-on side of salmon, preferably wild Alaskan, patted dry

Directions

Heat a skillet over medium. Add garlic and sunflower and cumin seeds; cook, shaking skillet frequently, until garlic is golden in places and cumin is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; add citrus zests and juices, cilantro, jalapeño, and 1 teaspoon salt. Pulse until mixture has texture of a loose paste. Add oil and 2 tablespoons water; purée until smooth. Reserve half of mojo sauce (1/2 cup); generously season fish with salt and evenly coat in remaining mojo sauce.

Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Arrange citrus rounds in a single layer on grill grates in an oblong pattern slightly larger than fish. Place salmon atop citrus rounds, skin-side down. Cover grill; cook until fish turns opaque and is just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer fish and grilled citrus rounds to a platter. Serve with reserved mojo sauce.

      Cook's Notes

The sauce can be made up to a day in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container.
