Salmon, Red Potatoes, and White Rice for dinner tonight, mmm!
On the Grill
Ready to Eat!
I would have to say that this is the best meal I've made on the grill to date...the Honey Mustard Chicken was a close second, but it needed more honey and maybe a sweeter BBQ sauce. Here's the recipe:
Tools:
Grill
Ziploc bag
Aluminum foil
Ingredients:
Salmon fillets (I buy the pre-packed frozen kind)
Garlic powder
Salt (I like Kosher)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
Directions:
1. Thaw the salmon fillets and season generously with garlic powder and salt
2. Mix lemon juice, brown sugar, water, vegetable oil, and soy sauce in a bowl
3. Place seasoned fillets in the Ziploc bag, dump liquid mixture in, and turn to coat
4. Refrigerate mixture bags for at least 2 hours (I only marinated for 15 minutes and the flavor didn't soak through as much as I wanted)
5. Grill in aluminum foil packets for 15 to 20 minutes
Tips:
1. Lightly season with more garlic powder and salt during the last few minutes of cooking
2. Open the foil packets a bit to allow air to circulate while cooking
3. Pour some liquid mixture into the packet before grilling, it makes a great sauce!
This salmon recipe tastes like you got it at a high-end restaurant. It's really light and yummy. This would be great to cook for a date! It's super easy to make too - thaw, mix the juice with the fillet in the bag, cook for 15 minutes. Nothing to it! I also cooked up some Red Potatoes with it. For the potatoes, I washed them, sliced them down the middle, put a bit of butter between the halves, and wrapped them tightly in aluminum foil. Cook them directly on the coals for 30 minutes, rotating once 15 minutes in. Add butter, salt, pepper, sour cream, steamed broccoli, or whatever else you want. I also cooked up rice and tossed some soy sauce on it.
