This is a great summer sauce and goes well on almost any fish, meat or poultry that you can grill. It is best to choose ingredients that have some flavor on their own.
Chicken, pork tenderloin, top round of beef are all great choices.
If you're going to have fish, choose one with a lot of flavor. Trout or catfish might get lost, where salmon, red snapper or sea bass would work great.

1/2 lb | tomatillos |
1/2 small | white onion (cut into wedges) |
1/4 cup | fresh cilantro |
1/2 | lime (juiced) |
1/4 tsp | salt |
1/4 tsp | ground cumin |
1/8 tsp | cayenne pepper |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
1 Tbsp | olive oil |
4 4 ounce | salmon filets (skin left on) |
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the tomatillos and onion wedges in a grill pan or a large skillet and place the pan in the oven.
Roast the tomatillos for about 15 minutes. Turn once or twice to let them brown on all sides.
After about 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the onions over the top. Return the pan to the oven for another 15 minutes.
Remove and let the tomatillos and onions cool until they are just warm. Place them in a blender, or using a stick blender with a medium bowl, puree the roasted tomatillos and onions until smooth.
Add the cilantro, lime juice, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper and black pepper and puree until smooth. Place the sauce in a sauce pan and place over very low heat to keep warm.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the olive oil, and when the pan is hot, place the salmon in the skillet flesh side down.
Cook for about 4 minutes and turn the salmon over so that it is skin side down.
Cook for about 5 minutes, then serve each filet topped with 1/4 of the sauce.
