Salmon on the Grill

[Theresa]

I want to try this...




1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced green onion
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
3/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoon sesame oil
4 (8-ounce) salmon steaks, 1-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for brushing
3 cups baby spinach


Heat a medium size saucepan, over medium heat.
Add canola oil and saute garlic, ginger, and green onion until fragrant and tender. Add the red pepper flakes. Mix the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and add to the saucepan. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Lightly season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper. Oil the grill with vegetable oil. Place the fish down for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the fish over and brush with the barbecue sauce, continue cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes, until opaque throughout. Divide the baby spinach among 4 plates. Place the salmon steaks on top of the beds of spinach while still very hot. This will make the spinach wilt.

I dont know if she's had formal training, but she does have some good food prep tips...and I like how she explains things AND she tells you what you can eliminate or substitute.

just dont try to follow a recipe. maybe we just got a bad one but oy veh!

I am NOT a fan.

Now Paula Dean? she is the QUEEN and I love her!

And if the cedar planking is not an option, what else can be done?

Should they be wrapped in foil or just foil used to cover the grill?

I couldnt give you cooking times. you need to read a dozen or so recipes and get a feel for what a bunch of different people think.


plus your cooking serface will be different anyway.

you can also buy one of those Fish basket things for your grill. that works well. they have a handle, so you just turn the thing over so the fish doesnt break apart.

cooking on a grill in foil is fine, but really all you are doing is keeping the heat and the fish smell out of your house. thats my 2 cents anyway.
