Interesting Salmon Recipes for dinner tonight?

I have some salmon fillets (skinless) that I would like to prepare for dinner tonight, but the only way I have ever really prepared them is either lemon-pepper or garlic flavoured. I'm in the mood for something different!





Some suggestions would be great! I have a well stocked fridge, freezer and pantry and there is a good store just across the lane!

Super Grilled Salmon


This is a grilled salmon made with full bodied wine (Shiraz is best). It needs to marinate overnight for best flavor.


* 1/4 cup brown sugar


* 1/2 cup hot water


* 1/2 cup Shiraz wine


* 1/2 cup soy sauce


* 1/3 cup olive oil


* 3 cloves garlic, minced


* 1/3 teaspoon lemon pepper


* 2 pounds salmon fillets


* 1 tablespoon cornstarch


* 2 tablespoons cold water


1. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar in the hot water until dissolved. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag, and mix in wine, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and lemon pepper. Place salmon in the bag, seal, and marinate 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.


2. Preheat a grill for high heat.


3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Reserving marinade, place salmon on the grill, and cook 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until easily flaked with a fork.


4. Transfer reserved marinade to a pot. Dissolve the cornstarch in cold water. Bring the marinade to a boil, and stir in cornstarch mixture to thicken. Serve over the salmon or on the side as a dipping sauce.
Maple walnut salmon


1 cup Maple syrup


3 tbsp ginger (fresh or ground)


3 tbsp Lemon Juice


2 cloves garlic chopped or grated


1/2 tbsp ground pepper


1 cup walnuts sauteed in butter / margarine


4 fillets needed but recipie can be adjested.


Combine all ingredients accept walnuts together and let simmer for 10 minutes. Brush mixture on salmon while roasting (preheat oven to 350) or Bluing (over medium heat). Add walnut to maple syrup mixture, pour mixture over salmon serve warm. Cook until no longer pink in center.





Roasted Lemon Salmon


Place defrosted salmon on tin foil over cookie sheet or baking tray.


Olive oil


1-3 tbsp Lemon juice


1-3 tbsp Lemon pepper seasoning


1 tsp Ground rosemary


1 tsp Parsley


1 tsp Ground black pepper


1 fillet of salmon but recipie can be adjusted to serve more.


Place salmon over tin foil. Pour in olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle rest of ingredients over both sides of salmon. Fold tin foil lightly over but not completely covering salmon. Preheat oven to 350 and roast until no longer pink in center (usually about 15-20 minutes). Adjust ingredients to your taste and to the number of servings.
Make a seasoning mix of pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, chile powder, ancho chile powder and chipotle chile powder. Mix about 1/2 - 1 tsp each, depending on how many fillets you have. Mix well, sprinkle both sides of salmon with the mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Cook over medium-high heat with olive oil. They will crisp up nicely. Drizzle with fresh squeezed lime juice. The chipotle chile powder provides a nice smoky flavor.
Spread a little bit of honey on the top side of the salmon. Not much just enough to hold the spices. Sprinkle some Montreal Steak seasoning, lemon and pepper on the fillet. If you have a smoker then smoke it for about 2 hours at a really low temp (220 degrees). If you don't have a smoker then just bake it uncovered in the oven at about 250 degrees until flaky.





Enjoy
Soak a cedar plank for at least an hour (overnight if possible). Mix a half cup of maple syrup and a quarter cup of soy sauce for a nice glaze. Add desired seasonings to taste. Put the fish on the plank,place it on a preheated grill (medium heat) for about 25 minutes.





Pair with a merlot or your favorite microbrew!


Hope this helps!!
You don't really need a recipe.





Get some Soy Sauce, garlic powder and brown sugar (light or dark) and mix together to form a marinade. Marinade for about 1-2 hours and grill or pan sear.





Much like Bourbon Salmon without the Bourbon.
very easy and tastes great, mix I small jar of hoisin sauce and 1/2 cup brown sugar, marinate 2 to 4 salmon steak for up to 1/2 hour. bake in 350 oven for 20 minutes basting twice and when removed with marinade. service with brown rice and steamed veggies.
I prefer my salmon broiled.





Sometimes I use a blackening spice. Coat both sides with the spice and then broil for 3-4 mins per side.





My other fav way to do it is with lemonaise. It's awesome. Coat both sides and broil 3-4 mins per side. If you can't find lemonaise, make your own. (mayo, lemon, pepper, a little mustard)
Something I do that is super easy is just marinate the salmon in Teriyaki sauce/marinade for 30 minutes and then grill, basting with the sauce.
Have you ever tried cooking the salmon on cedar planks? It is the best way to cook salmon so gooooooooood. You can buy then at Lowes or home depot. In the B-Que isle.
