To get out the real beauty of this fish, grilling is great. So recipes for barbequing salmon come a dime a dozen on the internet. Aside from it being delicious, BBQ salmon recipes are ones that can be followed even by novices. The secret is having a good marinade and cooking it at the right temperature. There are many BBQ salmon recipes that taste good, here is one example.
Lemon Herbed BBQ Salmon
Components
-1/3 cup of olive oil
-2 grated garlic cloves
– 2 lemons, juiced
-2 tablespoons of chopped capers
– cup of dill leaves that have been finely sliced
-3 sprigs of thyme
-1 lemon cut into 8 even wedges
-10 6oz fillets of Atlantic salmon
Mix the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. The olive oil doesn’t mix easily with other ingredients, so you have to give it a good mix. This mixture is called a vinaigrette, it can be used in salads and as a dipping sauce. Put fillets and marinade in a big zip-lock and refrigerate for an hour turning occasionally.
Set the grill to medium high heat. The salmon must first hit the grill with the skinned side up, leave it to cook for around 4 minutes then turn and cook for 6-7 minutes more. A toothpick can tell the difference between a raw and a cooked fish. Look for the thickest part of the fish and insert the toothpick as far as it can go. If it penetrates the fish smoothly, meaning you don’t feel any resistance it means that the fish is cooked. If the fish seems to resist the toothpick, it’s not yet cooked. If you can feel even the slightest of resistance, it means that the fish is not yet done.
