Northwest Grilled Samon Recipes

NORTHWEST GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• 1. Take a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil and place flat on the counter. Put your piece of salmon skin side down. (I prefer mine without the skin) Bring the edges up a little so you won't have any spillage.
• 2. Cut the butter into little pats and dot the top of the fish. Place the brown sugar on top and spread evenly over fish. Sprinkle the soy sauce, worcestshire sauce and garlic powder over the top as well.
• 3. Fold up the long sides of the foil and roll down to seal, then do the same to the other sides. Make sure it is sealed very well so that the yummy juices won't leak out.
• 4. Put on medium-high grill and let cook for about 15-20 minutes, depending on your grill. Once aluminum puffs up it should be done.

NORTHWEST GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Have the samon fileted leaving the skin on.
• This is important and keep cold.
• Melt together the butter and honey in the micro or another way.
• Lay the filet out skin side down and pour over or quickly brush on the honey and butter.
• Sprinkle the dill weed over.
• By having the filet cold the honey and butter mixture will congeal and the filet will be easy to handle.
• Place the filet skin side up over a moderate grill.
• As soon as the meat just starts to firm up turn to skin side down. (The skin will keep the filet together)
• Remove from the grill as soon as the meat starts to flake. (On large filets I use two spatulas)
• Serve with a green salad and au gratin potatos.

SIMPLEST GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Build a medium-high fire on a clean gas or charcoal grill. (If the grill isn't clean, the salmon will stick to the grate.)
• Season the salmon with salt and pepper, lightly oil the grate of the grill, then place the fillets skin-side up over the fire and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Gently flip the salmon over and cook 3 to 4 minutes more for medium rare. You can cook a little longer if you'd like, but take care not to overcook.

Steps:
