Answer 2

Yodasan, I grill Salmon, Blue fish and MAcarel alot and the best combination I have found with the Salmon that works on all taste buds is this. I get Celtic salt, not just sea salt but Celtic(try a major health food store). I take 1 cup of the salt and add 1.5 tablespoons og powdered ginger to it. Then 2 tablespoons og granulated garlic. I brush oin onto the steaks and then sprincle the mix onto each one on both sides. I grill them at medium heat so they don't dry out. The taste is awsome! you can play with the recipie a little to see how it agrees with your taste and take it from here. I usually grill the steaks no more than 6 minutes. I never leave them! I brood and turn them. 3 mn on one side. 3 mn on he other. I did 300 lbs of the fish for a wedding. When it was over there was only 2 lbs left. I was shocked and happy that it was good! Try it and you'll like it.

Put a couple of pats of butter, Top with some lemmon juice, and a little black pepper. Wrap in aluminum foil with about an 2.5inches of space b/w the salmon and the top of the aluminum foil. Cook, and then top with capers.

Now if it were me, the salmon would be blackened. Which is basically pan fried with lots of butter and tons of cajun seasoning. But I wouldnt be serving baby potatoes and watercress salad either. I would serve Red Potatoes Boiled in a pot loaded with cajun seasoning and butter, and a spiniach salad side salad with strawberries, bacon, pecans, parmesean and balsamic vinegrette dressing. Good luck

Answer 5

I always grill salmon steaks in foil,adding butter or olive oil to prevent sticking.I also add fresh onion and green pepper slices and usually a slice of lemon. this last time i found myself w/o lemon,but had some Korean soy ginger marinade,so i covered the steaks generously with that. The outcome was a moist flaky steak that had the best flavor of any salmon i've had anywhere.(or maybe i was just proud ha ha) hope that helps. good luck!

Answer 7

Dill is good. Red pepper or a cajun blend is nice too.

I used to marinade the steaks in Teriyaki (sp?) sauce and pineapple juice.

Growing up, my mother used to mix mayo, ketchup, soy sauce, and dried onions, spread it on the fish, and bake it (granted, we did this with fillets, not steaks)


Rubbing the steak with equal amounts of brown sugar, white sugar, and salt, let it marinade overnight, rinse in the morning, and cooking gives a nice sweet and salty flavor, but you have to cook slowly with this method or the fish can get a burnt flavor from the sugar.

Answer 8

Don't over do on salmon. You can just put some lemon juice on it and or add some salt pepper. I like to stuff it with fresh crab and small shrimp

Answer 9

Instead of french dressing, why don't you try making a sauce of sour cream and fresh chopped dill with salt and pepper to taste. Or to lighten up on the fat, use plain yougurt instead of sour cream

Yummy

Answer 10

Lemon pepper is good on salmon steaks, I think.
