DIRECTIONS


Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.


Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and mix in the brown sugar, lemon juice, dill, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until the brown sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer until ready to brush onto the salmon.


Season salmon with lemon pepper, and place directly on the grill grate, skin side down. Brushing frequently with the butter and brown sugar glaze, cook the salmon 20 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork. Reserve some of the glaze for serving.



I love salmon, and the best way to cook it is grilled. First season (to taste which means I do not use too much) with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Sea salt is larger crystals, and I like to see that I do not put too much salt on my food.) Next put slices of sliced fresh lemon and white onion (Walla Walla are still in season and these are the very best) on each salmon piece or in the cavity of the whole salmon. I like to squeeze a little extra lemon juice on the flesh also. You could add Old Bay Seasoning which would give it a little more spice. I like it without this, as the flavor of the salmon really stands out with the punch of lemon. Wrap it in aluminum foil and put it on the grill. I do not turn the salmon, but I check it to see that the flesh is done. This really depends on how big your fish is and if you have filets, steaks or the whole fish.





I watched Yan Can Cook and he made an interesting fish dish that I adapted to salmon I cooked the other night - tangy and unique. Make a marinade of soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger grated finely, a dash of sugar, and freshly ground pepper. Marinate the salmon in the marinade for at least an hour. Then put the salmon in a large piece of aluminum foil. Spoon the remaining marinade over the top of the salmon pieces. Seal the foil, making a packet and bake at 350 degrees until done. I got a little impatient and opened the packet up and let it bake some of the marinade off. My husband loved it!





Hope these give you a few ideas.
Take a whole salmon. Season it with lemon pepper. Add some lemon slices along the top side of the fish. You can use dill weed instead of the lemon pepper, if desired. Wrap the fish in aluminum foil, being careful to seal it completely. Take the wrapped fish, and wrap it again in heavy duty aluminum foil, making certain that it is securely wrapped.





Place the foil-wrapped fish in the top rack of an empty dishwasher, and run it through two complete cycles, WITHOUT detergent or rinse aids.





Remove the fish. Remove the outer foil, and carefully open the inside foil, and plate the fish.
