                         Prep Time: 10 Min. Cook Time: 35 Min. What you need: * 8 salmon steaks (about 6 oz. each) * 1 lb. (about 2 1/2 c.) pitted dried plums * 2 c. water * 1/2 c. Marsala or dry red wine * 1/4 c. lemon juice * 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil * 2 Tbsp. grated lemon peel * 1 Tbsp. sugar * 1/2 tsp. pepper * 1/4 tsp. salt * 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon * 1/8 tsp. ground allspice * 1/8 tsp. ground cloves Non-stick cooking spray What to do: 1. In small saucepan, bring dried plums and water to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 min.   2. Using slotted spoon, transfer dried plums to food processor, reserving cooking liquid. Add 1 c. of the cooking liquid (adding additional water, if necessary), wine, lemon juice, oil, lemon peel, sugar, pepper, salt, cinnamon, allspice and cloves to food processor; process until smooth. 3. Return to saucepan; simmer over medium-low heat 10 min. Set aside. 4. Meanwhile, grill salmon over medium-hot coals (or broil on rack of broiler pan 3 to 4 inches from heat) 7 to 11 min. or until fish is cooked to desired doneness, turning once. Serve with sauce. Tip: Salmon fillets with skin may be substituted for salmon steaks. Place salmon, skin sides down, on rack of broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat 6 to 8 min. or until fish is cooked to desired doneness, without turning. Proceed as above.
