Grilled Salmon With Sweet Peppers Recipes

SHEET PAN SALMON AND BELL PEPPER DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a sheet pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Place salmon fillets, red and yellow bell peppers, and onion on the prepared sheet pan.
• Combine lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, water, maple syrup, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, cumin, and parsley in a small bowl. Drizzle 2/3 of the sauce over the ingredients on the sheet pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve with lemon slices and remaining sauce.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on medium high.
• Mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, paprika and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise; set aside the rest of the sauce. Add the chives, celery and onions to the bowl with the mayonnaise and toss well.
• Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grate lightly with oil. Lay the salmon on the grill, skin-side up, and cook until distinct grill marks appear and the salmon releases easily from the grate, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brush the fish with some of the reserved sauce. Continue to cook the fish, brushing the pieces periodically with the sauce, until the salmon fillets are glazed and just cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes more.
• Transfer the fillets to individual plates and serve with the celery slaw.

GRILLED SALMON WITH SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill to high, build a fire in a charcoal grill or build a campfire and let it burn down to high heat (about 500 degrees F).
• Brush or drizzle salmon with oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle peppers and onions with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Place the salmon, skin-side up, on the grill, along with the peppers and onions. Grill the salmon until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a metal spatula, gently nudge one of the pieces: it should release from the grill without much force, but if it feels stuck, continue cooking for another minute. When the salmon releases easily, flip and continue cooking until browned and the flesh is opaque, about 3 minutes more. Cook the peppers and onions, turning frequently, until tender and well browned, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Serve the salmon with the vegetables.

SWEET GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Remove skin and scales from salmon. Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper and garlic powder. In a small bowl stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil until sugar is dissolved. Place fish in a large zip bag with soy sauce mixture, seal and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, turn often (the longer it marinates the stronger the flavor, I marinate mine all day).
• Preheat grill for medium heat. Lightly oil grill grate. Place salmon on the preheated grill, discard marinade. Cook salmon for 6-8 minutes per side, until fish flakes easily with fork.
• *Alternate cooking method: Sometimes I prefer to bake the salmon rather than grill. Preheat oven to 400, place salmon on baking sheet, discard marinade. Bake about 15 minutes, until fish flakes easily.

BROILED SALMON WITH SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Broil peppers on both sides until black and blistered.
• Place in metal bowl and cover with plastic wrap and allow to sweat for 10-15 minutes.
• Lower oven heat to 400 degrees F.
• Wrap garlic in foil; roast in oven 5- 10 minutes or until soft; peel and set aside.
• Peel peppers over a bowl to catch any juice; discard stems and seeds.
• Puree peppers in a blender or food processor in their juice along with garlic, vinegar, and oil; set aside.
• Broil salmon 2-3 minutes per side.
• Serve red pepper sauce drizzled over salmon.
