Sauces for Salmon
Posted on 3/24/11 at 9:34 am
Posted on 3/24/11 at 9:34 am
I just got a good bit of King Salmon from a buddy of mine that just got back from Alaska. I'm looking for different sauces to change it up a little bit since I'll probably be eating it a good bit for the next month. I don't have a whole lot of experience with this fish as we don't typically get very fresh salmon in the area.

Cooking Methods:
1. Cedar Plank on the grill-over charcoal
2. Normal grilling-over charcoal
Marinade: OJ/ Soy/ Red Wine/ Olive Oil/ Sea Salt/Black peppercorn/ Oregano/ ginger/ honey
DON'T OVERCOOK. Salmon take longer than a white fish to cook. I usually grill on cedar plank for 20 min. or so.
IMO, salmon doesn't need a sauce. I have put shrimp etouffee over it before and that was pretty good.
You can also make fish tacos with the grilled salmon. I make a mayo/chipotle sauce by adding powdered chipotle seasoning to mayo until I like the taste. Add shredded cabbage and tomatoes.

I usually marinate salmon in a mixture of honey, lime juice and grated ginger (just a sprinkle), then put it on the grill. Turns out great

i like to marinate it in a soy sauce, rooster sauce, brown sugar, salt, ginger and bay leaf like brine. then let it dry out for an hour, then smoke for an hour or 2. good stuff.

Fro don't ruin that good fresh Salmon with a sauce. That would be like putting cream of mushroom on a good ribeye. Just grill on the cedar plank with some sea salt and cracked pepper with some lemon and a little tony's maybe. A dash of butter would help. Just my thoughts.
Thats a good friend you have there. That stuff is good eats. At least to me it is. Enjoy.

I can understand why you want to change it up a bit with a sauce. If I only had the opportunity to eat it a couple times, yea I would just grill it on the cedar, but the same fish over and over, no matter how delicious, can get old.
I like to marinate it in a sun dried tomato vinaigrette and bake it with some spinach on top.
I don't have my recipe on me, but it's very simple.
Every time I have made it I received good reviews.

I cut the fillet with poultry shears, into sizes that are a little bigger than a deck of cards.
To cook, I pan sear them in a non stick pan. First, wash the fillet and pat dry with a paper towel, season the fillets with Paul Prudhomme's seafood magic.
Put a couple tbsp olive oil in the pan, bring heat up to med-high. Cook orange side down first for four minutes, shifting the fillet to prevent sticking. Then flip the fillet over to the silver side, cook four minutes, shifting the fillet to prevent from sticking.
I don't use a sauce, but some people use equal parts honey and hoisin sauce. Dollop the honey-hoisin mixture onto the orange side while the silver side is cooking.

if i recall correctly, my uncle makes salmon with a caper and brie sauce over the top and it is pretty damn good.

Pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, Kentucky Bourbon, black pepper & garlic powder

One of my favorite ways to cook salmon. I am always amazed at how well the citrus permeates the fish.
My kids absolutely love salmon now.
