Best Slammin Salmon Recipes

SLAMMIN' SALMON

Steps:

• Stir balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and soy sauce with salt, brown sugar, ground ginger, paprika, pepper, and red pepper flakes until the salt has dissolved. Stir in garlic, green onions, sesame oil, and peanut oil until well combined.
• Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag or glass bowl. Add salmon to marinade and gently toss to coat. Place into refrigerator and marinate 2 to 24 hours.
• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Drain excess marinade from salmon fillets. Grill until firm and opaque, about 4 minutes per side.

SLAMMIN' SALMON CRUNCHY CAKES WITH GAYLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine ingredients for the Gayla sauce and refrigerate.
• Sautee red pepper about 3 minutes in a non stick skillet in some butter or margarine. Add chopped garlic for the last thirty seconds.
• Combine peppers and garlic and all the rest of the ingredients except corn flakes in a bowl and mix together.
• Make four equal sized balls of this mixture and roll well into cornflake crumbs. Pat crumbs firmly and make sure it is well coated.(Balls will be about the size of a small baseball).
• Place balls on platter and press into patties about 1 inch thick.
• Fry immediately in a few tablespoons of hot oil in a non stick skillet on medium high heat. (You don't want them to sit around too long or the cornflakes will absorb moisture from the patties and not fry up as crispy.) Sear them quickly but of course, do not burn them about 3 or 4 minutes a side.
• NOTE: After mixing all the ingredients together you may refrigerate this to stiffen mixture up but I don't find it necessary unless you have used a very large egg. You may also make everything ahead of time and refrigerate. Simply remove about an hour before dinner and bring to room temperature or they will be hot on the outside but cold in the middle. Just don't roll in the cornflake crumbs until the last minute.
• Another Note: For a nice variation feel free to add 1/2 tsp or so of cumin to give these a "Tex-Mex" taste topped with some chili con queso. Yum! Be creative! This is a drop-to-the-floor-crawl-to-the-door moist patty. Make it as directed the first time and then EXPERIMENT! Make it your own.

SLAMMIN BLACKENED SALMON

Steps:

• Remove salmon from package and rub with blackening seasoning on skin free side.
• Use just enough to cover the piece of fish but not so much that you can't see the pink behind the seasoning.
• Heat grill pan on med heat and brush lightly with olive oil (very lightly) Place salmon skin side down on pan and cook on med heat until half of the salmon (from the bottom up) is opaque.
• Flip salmon and remove skin (it will peel off very easily and usually in one piece- I place it in a small plastic bag and tie it before dropping it in the garbage can to reduce fishy odors) Cook another 5-8 minutes until the entire piece of fish is opaque and runs with a white milk like substance (healthy omega fatty acids) Serve immediately with rice or potato and veggie of your choice for a healthy meal that tastes like you're at a restaurant even when you cooked it yourself!

SLAMMIN' CEDAR PLANK SALMON

Steps:

• Soak the plank for at least 5 hours. I usually fill my plastic cooler with water the night before, put the plank in, and then put a brick on top to keep it submerged. Make a rub by mixing the pepper, lemon peel, garlic, tarragon, basil, paprika, sea salt, and brown sugar. Place the salmon fillets on a sheet of wax paper on a plate or a pan and work the rub into both sides with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Place the fillets in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. When you are ready to barbecue, remove the plank from the water and lightly oil the top surface before placing the salmon. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the top of each fillet. Preheat the barbecue on high for at least ten minutes. Turn the barbecue to medium heat, place the plank with the salmon on the grill, and cover. Keep a spray bottle handy in case the planks catch on fire (they will). Cook until the internal temperature of the salmon is 120 degrees (8 to 10 minutes). The fish will turn pink and smoky brown, and the plank will be completely charred underneath. I like to have a second plank ready to serve the salmon on.
