Description

This dish combines the rich, smoky flavor of charcoal-grilled salmon with a hearty side of spicy black beans. The beans are slow-simmered with ham, aromatics, and jalape&# 195;±os to build deep, savory layers of taste, then brightened with fresh lemon and garlic. The salmon is marinated in olive oil, lemon, and basil, ensuring it stays moist while developing a beautiful char on the grill. It’s a perfect balance of heat, acidity, and smokiness, ideal for summer evenings or when you want a restaurant-quality meal at home. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor impact.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the soaked black beans, chopped onion, carrot, celery, chopped ham, stemmed jalapeños, 1 whole clove of garlic, 1 bay leaf, 3 sprigs of thyme (tied together), and 5 cups of water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the beans are tender, approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, adding more water if necessary to keep beans submerged.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat. Discard the carrot, celery, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and whole garlic clove. Drain any excess liquid from the beans.
  4. While the beans are simmering, prepare the marinade by whisking together the juice of 1 whole lemon, 1/3 cup olive oil, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil in a shallow dish.
  5. Place 24 oz salmon steaks in the dish and coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes, and the juice of 1/2 lemon.
  7. Stir the garlic-lemon mixture into the cooked beans. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Set aside to keep warm.
  8. Preheat a charcoal grill to moderately high heat. Clean the grates thoroughly.
  9. Remove salmon from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place salmon steaks on the grill.
  10. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, basting occasionally with reserved marinade, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  11. Serve the grilled salmon steaks immediately alongside a generous portion of the spicy black beans.
