Christmas tradition I grew up with always involved fish so I bought some salmon steaks to put on the grill tonight. never really done salmon on the grill anybody got any tips? I don’t have any of those fancy pants cedar planks
I’ve seen some folks lay down a bed of herb sprigs to prevent fillets sticking to the grill (lemon slices, too) but I like salmon as much as having my back go out... as a matter of fact, down on it for the 3rd Nov/Dec in a row right now!
you know the recipe? Carp on the plank, plank above a fire pit. Keep pit coals going for 5 to 6 hours. When done, throw out the carp and eat the plank.
Ahem, fellas 5-7 min per side until flakey spice depends on what I got or fresh dill or rosemary or thyme if I can get it. Med/hi heat. Well lubed grill I have better luck with a spatula than tongs for flipping Fresh squeezed lemon on top after grill is good.
This what I do all my fish. It does a wonderful job. Vodka Brined Smoked Wild Salmon Recipe | Traeger Grills then I put them on a cooling rack, put that in the smoker. I spray the cooling rack with Pam for easier release. The cooking temperature is pretty much what I use…. Merry Christmas….
So late for this one but I thought if I did enough salmon fishing for it as often as I can able, cooking it should be viewed as simple as possible. I'm also one who DOESN'T do the cedar planks. Alder is a better smoke if you have it for flavor. Warner had it perfectly set. Also depends on how thick it can get which is sometimes pretty hefty slabs near the gills. Salt and pepper and lemon for garnish after 5-10 mins on a grill . I tend to wrap mine in foil and give it olive oil and then butter at the end. Way too many over do it with rubs and forget about how fish should taste. Foil helps since its gonna keep the filet from falling apart/FUBAR. Been up that creek too often but hope it came out well.
