This is a terrific way to fix salmon...and it's so easy to do. The marinade mellows the fish flavor, and the dill sauce is a wonderful complement. I once served this recipe to 12 people from the Pacific Northwest who declared it was the best salmon they'd ever eaten! -Deb Essen, Victor, Montana

GRILLED SALMON STEAKS

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 salmon steaks 1-inch thick
1 teaspoon whole cumin seed
1 teaspoon whole coriander seed
1/2 teaspoon whole fennel seed
1 teaspoon dry green peppercorns
Sea salt or kosher salt
Canola or olive oil to coat steaks

Steps:

  • Prepare grill by lighting 4 quarts of charcoal (1 starter chimney's worth), or turning gas grill to medium-high.
  • Examine steaks for pin bones by rubbing fingers over surface of meat. If found, remove with bone tweezers or pliers reserved for culinary uses.
  • Using a sharp paring or boning knife, trim bones from the cavity side of the steak. Trim the stomach flaps so that 1 side is missing about 2 inches of skin and the other, 1 inch of meat. Roll the skinless section up into the hollow of the cavity, then wrap the other around the outside to form a round resembling a filet mignon. Tie in place with 2 passes of butcher's twine. (Do not tie it too tight or fish will pop out during cooking.)
  • Combine cumin, coriander, fennel and peppercorns on a double thick piece of aluminum foil and toast over grill, shaking gently until seeds become fragrant. Crush seeds in mortar and pestle or pour into spare pepper grinder. Coat steaks lightly with oil, season with salt, then liberally grind toasted seeds on both sides of steaks.
  • Quickly wipe hot grill grate with a rag or towel dipped in a little Canola oil, then grill fish to medium rare, about 3 minutes per side. (Fish should be well colored on the outside and barely translucent at the center.
  • Serve steaks alongside simple salad dressed with "Veni, Vedi, Vinaigrette."

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup drained bottled horseradish (from a 6-ounce jar)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (1- to 1 1/4-inch-thick) salmon steaks (preferably wild)
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
Special Equipment
kitchen string

Steps:

  • Stir together butter, horseradish, dill, shallot, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl with a rubber spatula until combined well. Transfer butter to a sheet of parchment or wax paper and roll into a 1-inch-thick cylinder. Twist ends of parchment to close, then chill until firm, about 20 minutes.

Remove and discard bones (you will end up with 2 thin pieces of fillet). Flip 1 piece over, turning it so rounded thicker portion is nearest you. Push halves together to create a yin-yang presentation, wrapping tail-like flaps around outside of steak. Wrap a piece of kitchen string around outside of steak, going around once or twice, and tie ends.
  • Brush salmon on both sides with oil, then sprinkle with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

GRILLED SALMON STEAKS WITH LIME BUTTER



Grilled Salmon Steaks With Lime Butter image

From Bon Appetit magazine, May 1990.

Provided by Vicki Butts (lazyme)

Categories     Fish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 c butter, melted (1 stick)
1/4 c lime juice
1 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
4 9-oz salmon steaks
lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Combine first 3 ingredients. Place salmon in glass baking dish. Pour lime butter over. Let salmon marinate while preparing barbecue or preheating broiler.
  • 2. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Cook salmon until just opaque, brushing with lime butter marinade occasionally, about 4 minutes per side.
  • 3. Transfer to plates. Brush with any remaining lime butter. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest salmon steaks: Look for bright pink or orange flesh with no signs of discoloration. The steaks should be firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a cedar plank: Cedar planks impart a smoky, woodsy flavor to the salmon. If you don't have a cedar plank, you can use a foil packet.
  • Season the salmon simply: A simple marinade or rub is all you need to enhance the natural flavor of the salmon. Try olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. You can also add herbs like dill, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Grill the salmon over medium heat: This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and drying out. Cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Grilled salmon is best served immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include roasted vegetables, grilled potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled salmon steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its flaky texture and rich flavor, salmon is a versatile fish that can be paired with a variety of sides. Whether you are a grilling pro or a beginner, you can easily make this recipe at home.
