I got a side fillet and put a little olive oil in the skillet and cooked until brown, but the other side still had the skin on it, so after flipping it and letting the skin side cook a couple minutes, I peeled the skin off easily then cooked at it for about anothe 4 minutes. It turned out OK, I thought. It was flakey and tender. a bit of lemon juice and pepper helped out. I'm staying away from salt. I'm sure there are better ways to skillet fry salmon then what I did. sooo.... What should I do next time around? BBQ is probably the best but poached and oven baked also work quite well. Oven version... If a fillet,wrapped in foil skin side down (with the top open) in a baking dish with little bits of butter, some salt and pepper, cover liberally with pan fried onion (sliced) and slices of lemon with fresh lemon juice squeezed directly on the fillet. Bake at 325 for approx. 15 - 20 minutes. Monitor closely, time is based on size. Protect the tail section from overcooking with thicker lemon slices. Serve it with the onions. Discard the lemon slices. Make certain you don't dry it out. If finished right, it'll melt in your mouth. Doing the same thing in foil on a covered BBQ is even better. Pretty close, but needs a little garlic........... DP_Diddly |

The first thing we have to understand is that there are 5 different kinds of salmon. * This is one of the things you learn on an Alaska trip. * :-) * * Well, the package tray says "Salmon" so I take it that is what it is.... My vote is for grilled on tin foil with a lot of chopped onions. If nothing else the smell of it cooking will drive you crazy. Good future reference Wayne, Thanks! |

Salmon jerky is an appropriate meal for Herring. |

Harry buddy, He is talking about smoking a salmon steak, not grilling it. I know you are getting old, but heck, even my ugly, dumb wife and my alcoholic son would know the difference. |

You can buy the planks in most grocery stores that sell fish. I'd thought of that eventually when the weather is better. I use a charcoal BBQ grill. We dont' have a grilling feature in our house. I cooked it out in the garage otherwise *it would make our house smell like fish and the wife doesn't want that. around spring I'll go for it though.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I grill year round, snow, ice, don't stop me! I use charcoal only also. Had a gas grill, hated it. |
