Instructions
Spread the tomatillos on a roasting pan along with half of the onion, the 6 whole garlic cloves and the jalapeos. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 35 minutes, until tender.
Transfer the vegetables to a blender and puree until smooth.
Add the lime juice, chopped cilantro and 2 tablespoons of the honey and pulse to blend. Season the tomatillo salsa with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Rinse out the blender.
In a medium saucepan, heat another 2 tablespoons of the oil.
Add the chipotle, cumin, chopped garlic and the remaining onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the beans with their liquid and 1/4 cup of water and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Transfer the black bean mixture to the blender and puree until smooth. Season the sauce with salt.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey with the ancho chile powder and mustard and season with salt.
Brush the salmon with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish skin side down over moderately high heat until very crisp, about 3 minutes. Cook the fish on the remaining 3 sides just until lightly charred, 3 minutes longer.
Brush the salmon with the chile-honey glaze and grill skin side up until lightly caramelized, 2 minutes.
Spoon the tomatillo salsa on plates and top with the salmon.
Garnish with sour cream and the cilantro sprigs and serve with the black bean sauce.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. You could try 7Cellars Elway's Reserve Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 28 dollars per bottle.
