The Girls' Mom Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I have some salmon fillets (skin on one side). The last time I attempted them they were a little :ack2:. I would like to grill them this time. What are your favorite seasonings/marinades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 An alternative to Patty's recipe is to put on the olive oil as she said and then sprinkle on garlic powder and brush on a mix of 1 part soy sauce to 1 part lemon juice. Grill as she said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Planked salmon (salmon cooked on an alder or cedar plank) was really trendy a while back, and some people swear by it. Be warned, though, that the wood really does add a distinct flavor, and that not everybody likes it. I suppose I'm not being very diplomatic about which camp I'm in.

5of5 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Actually, if you don't bother oiling the skin, it will sear to the foil, then you can use a spatula to lift the cooked salmon away, leaving the skin behind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Funny you should mention it.. I just came home from a salmon lunch at a really amazing restaurant. The sauce was new for me, but lemme tellya, I freaked. See if you might like Ponzu sauce or if you can even find it around. This stuff is way worth hunting for, trust me. It looks extreme to make it by hand, and I'm not sure the bottled kikoman stuff is even going to come close..but I am so hunting this stuff. The Ponzu sauce I had today was made in house, incredible stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrilege! The skin is the best part!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks everyone! I followed the cooking suggestions, and for the seasoning I used Seafood magic, olive oil and lemon juice. The grilling came out perfect, and everyone, except one child, liked it.

dirty ethel rackham Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We plank salmon all the time. We soak the boards in lemon water (or lime water if we are doing fish tacos.) I make a soy-ginger marinade that I put over the fish while the grill is heating up and then pour over the fish once I put it on the planks on the grill. We haven't noticed any flavors from the planks but, then again, we use a charcoal grill so we get a delicious smokey flavor. I got the marinade recipe out of a South Beach Diet book (which called for Orange Roughy, btw.) 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar (the recipe calls for vermouth, but we never have that on hand.) 2 T soy sauce 2 tsp sesame oil 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (we just go to town on the ginger) 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 lb salmon fillets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We cover it in olive Eli and cracked black pepper and grill. We do it without foil and it works great. We serve with lemon and capers. The kids love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We LOVE cedar plank salmon. Yes, it's a love or hate thing. Interestingly enough, all three kids love it as much as DH and I do. In fact, it's DS8's favorite dinner. Our two favorite recipes: Cedar Planked Salmon (my personal favorite) Canadian Cedar Planked Salmon Just posting these makes me :drool: Must put salmon on shopping list...

The Girls' Mom Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just posting these makes me :drool: Must put salmon on shopping list... I've been wanting to try it again for awhile, but it's expensive here (cheapest I had seen was 8.99 a pound) But our grocery store had it on sale for 4.99 a pound this week, so I grabbed some. Now that I know how to cook it so my family will eat it, I may buy it at Costco. (never had before because I didn't want to risk buying a lot and no one eating it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo Ninja Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 My favorite is marinating it in teriyaki sauce. But olive oil, lemon and seasoning is a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We sometimes make it with a light blackening seasoning on it (olive oil too), and the last time dh tried to recreate a jalapeño tartar sauce from a nearby Mexican restaurant. It was very yummy. Salmon is a favorite in our house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have some salmon fillets (skin on one side). The last time I attempted them they were a little :ack2:. I would like to grill them this time. What are your favorite seasonings/marinades? We marinate salmon fillets in Kikoman's Garlic Teriyaki Sauce a few hours before grilling. They taste just like the grilled salmon at Longhorn Steakhouse. Delicious! This is what the kids usually request for their birthday dinners. We serve them along with baked sweet potatoes and a salad or steamed broccoli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
