GRILLED SALMON PATTIES

Grilled Salmon Patties image

This recipe has been altered and tweaked with each batch until I felt it couldn't suit us any better. I used to remove the bones and skin, which was time consuming, but found after smashing everything the bones are not noticed and the skin adds flavor! This is quick and easy and flavorful enough for the toddler in my house. Grilling these salmon patties is a healthy alternative to beef burgers. Serve alone, on a bun, or on a bed of fresh greens.

Ingredients

¼ cup cracker crumbs
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
½ teaspoon paprika
1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
¼ cup honey mustard

Steps:

Combine cracker crumbs, egg, lemon juice, hot sauce, mustard, and paprika in a bowl; add salmon, stirring well. Allow the mix to stand for at least 5 minutes so that the flavors can join hands.
Preheat a grill to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a grill pan with foil.
Squeeze excess liquid from the mixture; this will allow the patties to hold together and turn that pretty golden brown. Form into patties.
Cook on the preheated grill until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes on each side. Serve with honey mustard.

SOUTHERN GRILLED BLACKENED SALMON

Southern Grilled Blackened Salmon image

This is a knock out recipe I use to combine two of my favorite ways to cook salmon. I smoke it and blacken the salmon getting the best of both worlds. In a search to find a healthier way to prepare fish I found blackened seasoning. You can go to any super market, go to the spice isle, and find blackened seasoning. I want to encourage you to try out different spices to find the one that best suites your taste. My personal preference is Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning Blends Blackened Redfish Magic.

3 lbs salmon fillets
3 tablespoons blackening seasoning
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup red onion, quartered

Pour a small amount of olive oil in to a baking dish. You want just enough to cover the bottom. Place the fillet or fillets on to the baking dish skin side down. The olive oil will serve to lubricate the skin and help keep the skin from sticking to the grill.
Put Your Blackened Seasoning on the salmon. This is not a case for less is more. I usually try to cover every square inch of the fish with the seasoning. Cover the fish and place in the refrigerator for one hour.
Take your mesquite or hickory wood chips and soak them in water. You do not have to do this way ahead of time because salmon cooks quickly. With the wood chips just being damp they will smoke long enough to give the fish the hint of smoke flavor that is desired for this recipe. If you were trying to add a smoke flavor to a larger piece of beef you would need to soak the wood chips for at least four hours.
Light the charcoal and wait until all the coals are completely white. You want the grill to be at a medium heat. You have reached a good medium heat when you can hold your hand 5" above the grill rack for three seconds. If the grill is too warm try closing the lid and partially opening the vents. Wait five minutes and your fire should be at medium. To raise the temperature of the grill at any time just open the lid.
Get the salmon out of the fridge and take close to the grill.
Slice the red onion in to quarters.
Separate one quarter in to the separate layers and add the layers directly to the coals.
Drain the water off of the wood chips and add them to the coals. You should start to see smoke coming from the grill.
While this is happening you should place the salmon on the grill skin side down. Cover and enjoy the outdoors for a little while.
Keep the lid closed for at least five minutes so that the fish has a chance to absorb the smoke flavors. If you keep opening the grill you will absorb those flavors.
Cooking time will vary with size of fillet. You will not flip the fillet so let it cook skin side down the entire time.
Check on the filets every so often until the skin starts to fall off of the filet. At that point you bring it inside, remove skin, and serve.
