The two best salmon dishes I've ever had were prepared on the grill...
One was a full half, covered with cracked black pepper, purple onion slices (COVERED) and thick lemon slices. Wrap in tin foil and place on the grill for however long it takes depending on the heat and the size of the filet. But it doesn't take long. Better to cook not long enough than too long...open carefully, lots of steam and juice. Serve with the juice, which is delish. You can choose to discard or keep the onions.
Salmon steaks on the grill are fast, yummy, and you don't smell up the house. Put whatever you like on them, just make sure your grill is oiled or the fish is...
That sounds absolutely delicious Allie, I was just thinking about trying to barbeque some type of fish too.
I don't BBQ or steam fish, I grill (steaks, usually, filets sometimes) hot and fast, usually with a little garlic infused olive oil on a very clean and oiled grate.
My favorites are swordfish, thresher shark and ahi tuna steaks. All are cooked hot and fast. I marinade the steaks in olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, some red wine, green onion (diced) and garlic (diced) for only about 20 - 30 minutes. Swordfish and thresher get rubbery if overcooked and ahi tuna only needs grill marks, a minute or two on each side.
Fish kabobs and fish tacos are great on the grill too and served with all the sides one serves with burgers or dogs - potato, pasta or green salads, melons, grapes (on the vine and/or in a glass) and corn on the cob, grilled of course.
