Salmon St. Regis

I created this recipe in the wilds of a Montana dude ranch. I had a lot of fun with this. I hope you do, too.

3 salmon steaks
3 kumquats, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic minced
2 t. fresh rosemary leaves
2 T olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Combine the kumquats, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil. Bruise together with a pestle.

Sprinkle each steak with salt and pepper. Arrange the steaks in a glass baking dish and spoon the kumquat mixture over the steaks.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Arrange on serving plates. Spoon pan juices over steaks and serve. The dish goes well with beets and asparagus. Try it with a Pinot Grigio.
