LEMON PEPPER GRILLED SALMON



Lemon Pepper Grilled Salmon image

I tasted this at one of the taste-test booths in Costco when I lived in California. They were promoting their frozen salmon fillets - which are the only frozen fish I have even tasted that I enjoyed (thaw first). This is a really simple, yet tasty recipe for nights when you are too lazy or tired to do much else. You may certainly use fresh salmon, which is what I usually do. The type of salmon fillets you want are the ones cut from the side of the fish into thick strips (as opposed to the horseshoe-shaped type).

Categories     Savory

Time 42m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup lemon-pepper seasoning, blend to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 -3 fresh garlic cloves, crushed
7 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, deboned, skinless
1 -2 lemon, cut into wedges
fresh parsley, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make a paste of the lemon pepper salt, olive oil, and garlic.
  • Rub some of the paste onto each salmon piece, as much or as little as you prefer to taste.
  • Cover and chill 20 minutes (don't let sit too long or the salt will start to cook the fish).
  • Grill (medium heat) or broil (high) until salmon is cooked through to your liking- it should be just starting to flake and it should look like milk is starting to seep out of the fish.
  • The time will vary,especially if you use an outdoor grill, but roughly 7-12 minutes or so is a good guess.
  • Garnish with a bit of fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side to squirt on each piece as desired.

BROILED SALMON WITH MUSTARD AND LEMON



Broiled Salmon With Mustard and Lemon image

In this simple salmon recipe, a quick stint under the broiler transforms smooth Dijon mustard into a savory, caramelized crust, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds just the right brightness and tang to the rich, sweet fish. Covering the baking pan with a protective layer of aluminum foil helps with the cleanup, meaning you can cook dinner and wash up in under 30 minutes.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (6- to 8-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets, each about 1-inch thick
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Position one oven rack 6 inches from the broiler heat source then heat the broiler. Season the salmon fillets all over with ½ teaspoon salt and a couple of grinds of pepper and place them on an aluminum foil-lined sheet pan, skin side down.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the oil and mustard until well mixed. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with this mustard mixture.
  • Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. (The center of the fillets will be dark pink, if you pierce one with a paring knife and take a look.) If your fillets are thinner, reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes. If you prefer more well-done fish, add 1 or 2 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge all over the cooked salmon fillets, then serve salmon with more lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is firm and has a bright color. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often less flavorful and may contain more contaminants.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will add a lot of flavor to your salmon. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store it, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.
  • Leftover salmon can be used in a variety of dishes. Try it in a salad, pasta dish, or sandwich. You can also freeze leftover salmon for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Grilled Dijon lemon pepper salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect grilled salmon every time.
