Salmon Recipes

On this beautiful date 9-9-9 I will provide you with some tasty salmon recipes. If you don't like salmon you can always turn the date upside-down, right. Anyways start with a salmon fillet of about 1 kg, enough for 4, costing about $18 you can cook/grill the next recipes, all of whom are very tasteful, to say the least. Do it either at home or at the campground BBQ, it always works. Instead of farmed salmon you can use the wild version; it's darker and tastes stronger. I don't like the wild variety very much with the listed recipes.

Salmon on a Cedar plank:
Soak the plank for about 4 hours in plain water. Sprinkle coarse salt on it along with a fair amount of olive oil. Couple of slices of lemon on the salmon (or sprinkled) together with some ground dried garlic (Red onion-rings tastes good too). If you don't have a lid on your BBQ then make one with alu-foil (like an oven). You will taste the cedar. Its a combination of grilling and smoking. Very good. A heavily charred plank means more flavour into the salmon, so play with the heat.

Salmon with Montreal Steak Seasoning:
Take a sheet of alu-foil, sprinkle it with olive oil and put the salmon on top of it. Distribute a tablespoon of mayonaisse over the salmon, squeeze half a lemon on top of the salmon. Sprinkle a fair amount Montreal Steak Seasoning on top of it, not too much or the salmon is wrecked. Fold the alu-foil around the fish into a nice package. If need be put a extra layer of alu around it.

Salmon ala Joke&Marco:
Start is the same as second one. Sprinkle the fish with lemon-juice and a good amonnt of dried and ground garlic. Now cover the fish with ABC Ketjap Manis (please NO Conimex, go to your local Indonesian Toko and buy the real stuff, in Canada sold at the Superstore for only $2.95), don't be shy, just a lot of it. Again make a nice package with the alu-foil.

Leave on meadium hot grill, with the lid closed, for about 15-20 minutes; depending on how well-done you want the salmon to be and the thickness. Serve it with (spinach-)tagliatelle and stir-fried fresh spinach (with fresh garlic) and you have a wonderful, easy and quick lunch or supper. Serve a glass of chilled white wine to complete it.
Only use a little extra salt on the first recipe, the others don't need it and will be ruined.
