CREAMY HERB GRILLED SALMON
I have a huge herb garden and love using herbs in almost everything I cook. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we eat a lot of wild-caught salmon, so I use fresh herbs in this moist and delicious grilled recipe. On cooler days, bake it instead. -Michelle Glassmeyer Wunsch, Bothell, Washington

Steps:
- Add the bacon to a medium skillet and cook over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon; reserve.
- Discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add half the shallots and cook, stirring often, until translucent and softened, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook, stirring often, until heated through and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream cheese and 1 teaspoon salt until combined. Let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the herbs, lemon zest and remaining shallots to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the butter and 2 teaspoons salt and pulse until well combined; set aside.
- Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
- Set the salmon on a cutting board. Use a knife to score the salmon down the middle lengthwise, halfway through its thickness. Working from the center line out toward the edges, cut thin flaps from the score to the edge, like a gatefold, then open them up. Spread half the herb butter on the salmon and spoon the corn mixture down the middle. Sprinkle the bacon on top, then fold the sides of the salmon up to cover the filling. Tie the salmon together in 6 places with butcher's twine. Spread the remaining herb butter on top and sprinkle generously with salt.
- Stack 3 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil that are 6 inches longer than the salmon and spray the top layer generously with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the salmon to the middle of the foil and crimp the sides so they form a rim.
- Transfer the salmon on the foil to the indirect-heat side of the grill and cook, covered, until the salmon is cooked through and the stuffing is hot, about 25 minutes (depending on your grill). Move the salmon to the direct-heat side for 5 minutes to crisp the skin. Using heatproof gloves, carefully transfer the foil with the salmon to a platter for serving. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Season: Pat salmon dry, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Pan-sear: Heat oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add salmon, presentation side down, and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip: Turn salmon and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 49°C / 120°F (for medium-rare, recommended) or until cooked to your taste (Note 5).
- Butter baste: When it's almost cooked, add the butter. Melt, then spoon over the salmon a few times.
- Rest: Remove salmon onto plate, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Sauté garlic: Add garlic and stir for 20 seconds or until light golden.
- Reduce wine: Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the wine-y smell is gone.
- Thicken cream & stock: Add cream and chicken stock, then simmer on medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
- Add parmesan & herbs: Stir through parmesan (this will thicken sauce more), then the herbs. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
- Serve: Serve salmon with Creamy Sauce, ensuring there's something on the plate to soak up all that amazing sauce! Mashed Potato rates highly. See above video for list of suggestions (including side salads).

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon over farmed salmon, as it is typically leaner and has a more intense flavor.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and basil will infuse the salmon with more flavor than dried herbs.
- Don't overdo the cheese: A little bit of cheese goes a long way, so don't be tempted to add too much. You want the cheese to complement the salmon, not overpower it.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat: This will help to prevent the salmon from drying out.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served hot off the grill. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Herb and cheese grilled salmon is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salmon mild or spicy, herb and cheese grilled salmon is sure to please everyone at the table.
