How do you prepare a nice salmon steak ?

Question

How do you prepare a nice piece of salmon steak,some guests are coming over for dinner. preferably grill method. what are the different good recipes out there? something simple.

I got a nice bottle of sauvignon already.just need a good recipe now.

a simple to prepare recipe would be appreciated. thnx.

Answer 1

Sauvignon doesn't go all that well with a lot of garlic or ginger. It would be better to stick with a Reisling if you choose to go that route.

Otherwise, a few roasted sweet peppers, lime, and a dash of tequila will pare well with the salmon and also compliment the wine. Or, a fresh melon and citrus salsa with a sprig of mint would be good. Trust yourself on quantities because your own eyes and tongue are the best judge.

Or you could just do this super simple citrus marinade:
1/2 cup orange juice (1 orange)
1/2 cup lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 tsp chopped sage
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 or 2 cloves garlic, minced (to taste)
a few drops Tabasco or Texas Pete's

Answer 3

You've been given some great recipes. Think I may try some of them myself!

My favourite way to eat a really great quality salmon steak is lightly seasoned with some olive oil, lemon, dill, salt and pepper. Then grilled or baked until just done. It's a nice way to taste the salmon more than a sauce. And my choice when serving with wine.

Answer 4

Mmm... I just made some salmon fillets for dinner last night that came out delicious!

Grab some non-stick foil and rip off a piece big enough to form a pouch around the steak. Rinse and pat dry. Sprinkle with a little salt, pepper, and rosemary. Then top with sliced lemon, a few sliced garlic cloves, and some sliced red onion. I like to throw a few tomatoes on top to add a bit more color. Then you just drizzle with olive oil and crimp the sides of the foil to create an air type pocket.

Bake on 425 for about 15 minutes or until cooked to the desire tenderness. Serve with a little of the extra juice drizzled over top.

Answer 5

Lightly brush it with some olive oil. Sprinkle it with salt and Pepper. Place it on a very hot grill or saute in a hot pan with oil and/or butter. Finish with lemon and some herbs, dill or taragon are nice choices. If you're not a fat phobe you cna even add a little more butter or cream at the end to make a sauce.

Answer 6

Yummm, salmon steaks. We rub ours with olive oil and rub creole seasoning or the seasoning for blackened fish. Then will put it until the broiler and cook till done. You can also do this on the grill with no problem.This is the best. I am having some for lunch today and can't wait.

Answer 7

I like to put an Italian dressing that I like, preferably one that is not sweet but spicy. I put a little salt, parsley, garlic, and pepper and grill it. Comes out great and its very easy.
My boyfriend like to squeeze grapefruit on top and salt and pepper then grill, also very easy and you get more of the salmon taste with out so much spice.

Answer 8

My favorite is to grill it either on the bbq or the george foreman grill, with this awesome sesame teriyaki marinade called "soy vay!" Its so simple, yet very good...you'll be impressed.

Answer 9

Herbed butter over indirect mesquite or pecan wood coals....
