Grilled Salmon

How To Make Delicious Grilled Salmon

Here’s a grilled salmon recipe for you. I normally cook my salmon on my George Foreman Grill, but you can certainly grill your fish on a regular carbon or gas grill. You just need to know from experience when the fish is ready to be served, but I will give you some tips on that. You can also bake your fish, if you don’t have a grill handy.

Ingredients:
Recommended fish: fresh salmon (or any other fish of preference)
Spices to be used: ground pepper; salt; and Old Bay Garlic and Herb
Lemons: I like key limes (small green and juicy limes) or regular lemons will do fine
Butter: the brand: “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!”
Vegetables: zucchini; green, yellow and red peppers; plus white onions
Salad: romaine lettuce; tomatoes; ripe avocado

You want to buy fresh salmon in slabs of two or three pieces depending on the number of people you want to cook for. One seven-inch slab for two is plenty, but for three or more in your party, ask the attendant at the fish counter to recommend the pounds of salmon that you will need to grill.

Directions:
When you’re ready to cook, take the fish out of the refrigerator and lay it on a corning ware dish or a large plate. First thing to put on the fish is the lemon juice. Squeeze the limes or lemons right on the fish. Use at least three limes for a slab of salmon for four people.

Now spread the butter over the fish (not on the skin) with a flat knife or any other utensil. Be generous, but don’t over do it! Sprinkle salt (just a tad), pepper, and Old Bay… according to your taste. I like to grind mixed peppercorns over the fish, which has already been prepared with the limes and the butter.

Now take the fish over to the grill, which should be already hot. I like to lay aluminum foil on the grill. I place the fish on it, and then I pour all the juices that have dripped over on the dish right onto the fish. While it is cooking, I pour some more lemon or lime juice, and I sprinkle a bit more of Old Bay to give it zing.

The time of cooking is a bit tricky. It could be fifteen minutes, or maybe twenty-five to thirty minutes, depending on the amount of fish and heat you use on your grill. Here’s how you know when the fish is cooked to perfection. With a fork, tap the top of the slab(s) once in a while, but after fifteen minutes or so of cooking time. If it feels soft, it’s still raw and not quite ready. Tap them again in a few minutes until you feel a firm sensation.

One other way to find out if the fish is ready to serve is to cut into the end of the slab with a knife, and check to see if the meat comes off easily in flakes. Taste the fish, and do the same test in the middle of the slab. Cut into it with a knife and check to make sure it is fully cooked.

You can turn the salmon over while it’s cooking by placing a spatula in-between the skin of the fish and the meat. Just flip the meat over, and continue keeping and eye on it, until it’s done. Voila! You have now become an expert in my “Argentine recipe” for cooking the best salmon ever, or any other fish that you prefer.

I suggest the vegetables be prepared in a frying pan with a dab of olive oil. The zucchini may be cut in thin slices; the bell peppers (green, red and yellow) in long strips; and the white onions in semi-thin slices. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper, and whatever spices of choice. Stir the vegetables well, and be ready to have a fabulous dinner to impress anyone.

Tips On Making Grilled Salmon

One of the best main course dishes whether for big or small groups is grilled salmon. With a grilled salmon, you are assured that what you are eating is healthy and delicious. You can never go wrong with serving a grilled salmon. Plus, there are a lot of recipes that you can do with a grilled salmon. You can make a dish with honey-lime dressing or a salad or add green beans to make it more appetizing. You can actually do a lot of dishes with it which means that you will never grow tired of it.

Whatever your recipe is, you have to know how to cook a salmon. You have to grill it just right. Never rush in grilling it or else you will destroy it. That is why whenever you want to cook or grill a salmon; you will need a whole of patience to be able to do it just right. You want to make the most perfect salmon you can ever make every time right?

So whenever you’re making grilled salmon, do not forget to season the fish with salt, pepper and dill not more than 15 minutes before you cook it. If you marinade it more than the aforementioned time, it will make the fish soggy and mushy. It is preferable if you are able to grill the salmon on a gas grill. However, other kinds of grill are okay to use too. Cook the fish until the color turns opaque. It will only take 8 to 10 minutes per side. So it is better to watch it very carefully so as not to let the flames touch the fish.
