Hot–off–the–grille Salmon Fillets from Olde School’s Kitchen
Prep Time: 20 min
Marinade time: 2 – 3 hours
Cook Time: 16 - 18 min
Serves 4
With a little advance prep time for the marinade, this recipe comes together quickly and can be ready to serve in 20 – 30 minutes. And even those who aren’t particularly fond of fish dishes will be begging for more.
This recipe can easily be halved for 1# of fillets if serving only two
INGREDIENTS
2# fresh salmon fillets
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
½ medium sized red onion
Heavy duty aluminum foil
MARINADE:
4 tbsp light brown sugar (¼ cup)
4 tbsp light (low sodium) soy sauce
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp + 1 tsp lemon juice
½ + ¼ tsp kosher salt
½ + ¼ tsp coarse grind black pepper
2 large cloves garlic
INSTRUCTIONS
1: Mix all marinade ingredients in mixing bowl using 2 tbsp of lemon juice and ½ tsp. ea. kosher salt and coarse grind black pepper. Garlic may be finely minced, but I prefer using a garlic press to insure flavor permeates the marinade. Whisk thoroughly until well blended.
2: Place fillets in 1 gallon zip-loc bag, skin sides touching. Pour marinade over fillets & allow air to escape as you seal bag. Refrigerate on plate for two to three hours, turning at least once.
3: Using heavy duty foil, fold up sides and ends to form a “boat” to hold the fillets while cooking. Make one for each 1# fillet.
4: Half the red onion cross-wise. Cut very thin slices from the center, using approx. half the onion. Half or quarter each slice so sections separate. Quarter the cherry tomatoes, placing in small bowl with onions. Sprinkle with 1tsp lemon juice and 1/4tsp. ea. salt and pepper. Toss, cover and set aside until ready to cook.
5: Preheat grill on low. Lay foil boats on cutting board. Place salmon (skin down) in boat, add onion- tomato mix on top of fillets. Pour ½ to 2/3 of marinade mix over fillets, thoroughly soaking the top of each fillet with enough run-off to cover most of the bottom of the boat.
6: Slide boats off cutting board onto grille surface, close lid and grille for 16-18 minutes. Serve immediately.
