4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets

Canola oil

Salt and pepper

RED WINE BBQ SAUCE:

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 shallots, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

2 cups red wine (Merlot)

1 1/2 cups ketchup

3/4 cup water

2 tablespoons ancho chili powder

1 tablespoon paprika

1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon molasses

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 chopped canned chipotle chile in adobo

FOR THE BARBECUE SAUCE: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the wine, increase the heat to high and cook until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Add the ketchup and the remaining ingredients and cook until thickened and slightly reduced, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly. FOR THE SALMON: Heat grill to high, cast iron grill pan over high heat, or large nonstick saute pan over high heat. Brush salmon on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 4 minutes per side, brushing with some of the bbq sauce every 30 seconds. Remove from the grill, place on a platter and brush with more of the sauce.
