Barbecued Alaskan Salmon Recipes

THE ONLY GRILLED SALMON RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED

Steps:

• Brush your grill with a wire brush to remove any food particles, and coat or spray the grill with cooking oil. Preheat the grill to medium-high (400 to 450 degrees F).
• Mix together the seasoning and salt in a small bowl until well-combined. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and use your hands to gently coat the full surface of the flesh. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the fish. NOTE: If you're performing this step ahead of time, store salmon in a seal-able container or plastic bag in the refrigerator until you're ready to grill.
• Place the salmon fillet on the grill skin side down (I put it over the hottest part of the grill) and cover. Cook for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the skin is super crispy and fish is opaque. Carefully flip and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until salmon reaches desired done-ness. For rare-in-the-center salmon, cook about 2 minutes per side. Adjust the grill time up for salmon fillets that are thicker than 1 inch.
• Transfer salmon to a serving platter and serve with grilled zucchini salsa!
• Grill the zucchini and yellow squash while you're grilling the fish. To do so, cut the zucchini into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick rounds, lightly coat with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place zucchini on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook on the other side until grill marks appear, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and chop when cool enough to handle.
• Transfer the chopped grilled zucchini and yellow squash to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients for the salsa and toss until well-combined.

Cover and marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
• Prepare an outdoor grill with coals about 5 inches from the grate, and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill the fillets 5 inches from coals for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at the thickest part, or until fish just flakes with a fork. Turn over halfway through cooking.

Steps:

Cook for about 8 more minutes, then brush on more basting sauce, turn, and cook for 2 minutes. Take care not to overcook the salmon as it will loose its juices and flavor if cooked too long.

• After marinating, generously coat each filet with the marinade and wrap separately in heavy duty aluminium foil.
• Before firing up your outdoor grill/BBQ, lightly oil the grates. Cook one of two ways (1) COALS: Set your coals about 5 inches from the grate; bbq the salmon fillets 5 minutes per side, or until fish just flakes with a fork. (2) GAS GRILL: Preheat grill for high heat. Place filets on the grates and grill for 7-8 minutes each side, or until fish is flaked easily with a fork.

• For a complete meal, serve the grilled salmon fillets with lemon wedges, a chilled bottle of Merlot, scoop of fluffy white rice, and a lightly-dressed fresh spinach salad. Be sure to brace yourself for NO LEFTOVERS!
