PELLET GRILL SMOKY SALMON WITH CAPERS AND DILL



Pellet Grill Smoky Salmon with Capers and Dill image

This lightly smoky side of salmon is deceptively simple to put together and cooks in just about 20 minutes on a pellet grill. You slather the top in a flavorful combo of capers, dill, garlic, zesty lemon and the secret ingredient (mayonnaise!) to ensure the fish stays moist. Another trick to guarantee the salmon is cooked to perfection? Grill it with the skin on, then just use a spatula to separate the flaky fish from the skin for serving.

Time 35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the foil
Grated zest and juice of 1 large lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
1 small shallot, finely chopped, about 3 tablespoons
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons capers, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus torn fronds for serving
1/2 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 4-pound side of salmon, skin on, pin bones removed

Steps:

  • Preheat a pellet grill to 475 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
  • Combine the mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, shallot, garlic, capers, chopped dill, honey and a large pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • Prepare 3 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil that are each 6 inches longer than the salmon; stack the foil and brush the top sheet generously with olive oil. Place the salmon, skin-side down, in the center of the foil stack and crimp all 4 sides to form a rim. Season the fish generously with salt and pepper then spread the mayonnaise mixture on top.
  • Set the foil directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the salmon reaches 140 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Using heatproof gloves, carefully transfer the foil with the salmon to a platter for serving. Top with the torn dill fronds and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

SMOKED SALMON, FROMAGE BLANC AND CAPER SPREAD



Smoked Salmon, Fromage Blanc and Caper Spread image

One selling point of smoked salmon is that you don't need to do much to it to get it on the table - but take it a step further and break out of the canape cliché. Here, you'll whip it up in the food processor with fennel and cream cheese for a light spread. Serve it with baguette slices. It's a quarter-hour of work for a savory, guest-friendly appetizer.

PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAPERS



Pasta with Smoked Salmon and Capers image

Another classic combination, this dish makes people think you went to a lot of trouble. Actually it's quite simple. Any shape of pasta works, but I prefer a small noodle such as shells or bowties. Despite what an Italian might otherwise recommend, I like to serve this dish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 pound smoked salmon, chopped
1 cup heavy cream (a.k.a. whipping cream)
3 tablespoons capers, drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
N/A freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pasta, cooked al dente, drained (reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water), and tossed with olive oil
N/A olive oil
Freshly grated imported Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned. Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and add the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
