Shallot-Garlic Chutney
by J_in_OFallon (twitter)

2 medium shallots, minced fine
2 medium cloves of garlic, crushed and minced fine
1c White wine, Chardonnay
2c Orange Juice
2TB fresh Lemon Juice
2TB Clover Honey
Sea Salt

Warm olive oil in a medium sauce pan. Add shallot and sweat with a pinch of sea salt until clear and tender. Add garlic and sweat until soft and fragrant.
Deglaze with 1c of white wine. I used Chardonnay. Add 2c orange juice, 2TBS lemon juice and 2TBS clover honey. Stir well.
Reduce to 1/4 of original volume or until liquid is thick and syrupy. Salt and pepper to taste. Tart/sweet/savory.
Mmmm Gahhlic! Serve on fish or poultry either as a thick chunky sauce or use the syrup as a glaze and a large dot of the garlic/shallot "chutney" as a garnish.

Fish Marinade

Simple little marinade I wrote and used last year (2008) when my brother and father returned from a Salmon Fishing trip to the Great Lakes.

Grilled over a medium heat and used wood chips in a packet.

Fish Marinade

1 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 1/2 Cup Chardonay

1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar

4 tspn. Old Bay Seasoning

4 tspn. Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1 tspn. Liquid Smoke (Hickory or Mesquite)

1 Tbl. of Sea Salt

2 tspn. Parsley Flakes

2 tspn. Garlic Powder

1 tspn. Onion Powder

2 tspn. Crushed Red Pepper

Zest of 1 Lime or Lemon (Sqeeze Juice into marinade)

Blend all ingredients and pour over fish until it is covered, let marinade for 30-45 minutes. Preheat grill to 400 degrees F. Place heavy foil on grill surface and on foil that fish will be placed on, spray with or brush with Olive Oil. Using Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper season fish and place Lime or Lemon slices on fish while cooking.

Grill or smoke fish until done, fish will flake with a fork.(About 12-15 minutes)

Enough Marinade for 4-5 6oz. fresh fish portions.

Suggested sides: serve with Wild Rice medley, Steamed Vegetable Medley, Fresh Garden Salad, and Garlic Bread along with a lemon wedge as garnish.
