Hi grandmasgirls!

At home, I only cook salmon on the grill! Sometimes I just use alittle olive oil to grill it with and then make a corn, tomato, basil type of salsa and serve it on top. So yummy! Last year, the DH and I started grilling with Garlic infused olive oil and that was lots of fun.

I've used this recipe before and loved it:

When grilling Salmon I use some olive oil - then add some prepared frozen lemonade - not Koolaid


This gives the fish a sweet and tangy flavor - my family loves it even the "picky" ones

Olive oil, yes, and cook it as slowly as possible.  Watch so that not all the pink disappears.  Also for the best, Mc Cormick has the best seafood spice for salmon.  Yummy !!! Start the filet skin side down, then flip and remove skin when that underside is done .  umm

When I want something tasty and healthy, I slice a lemon and lay the rounds on top of the salmon.  Then I sprinkle a  lemon-herb spice blend over the top and fold it into a sheet of foil sprayed with non-stick spray.  Cook on grill over med-low heat 7-10 minutes per side.  Salmon is done when it can be easily flaked with a fork.  So moist and tasty!


I also make a soy-onion glaze and cook the salmon in the glaze in foil on the grill.  It turns out fantastic every time.


Soy-Onion Glaze: 1/2 cup mayonaise, 3/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup butter, 1 sweet onion, sliced and quartered.  Melt the first three ingredients and pour over salmon in a bowl.  Turn to coat.  Place salmon in foil and top with onion pieces.  Pour glaze over salmon and close foil.  Cook on grill over med-low heat 7-10 minutes per side.  Enjoy!

These recipes sound wonderful ! Just in case you want a side sauce to serve when you cook salmon without alot of flavoring you might try this recipe.


1/2 cup mayo  1 or two green onions finely chopped  ( white part only ) 1 Tablespoon capers diced . Mix well , serve on the side. Perfect for salmon.

My favorite salmon recipe is done in a cast iron skillet. 


Skin salmon and cut into appx. 2 inch strips across.


Mix soy sauce and garlic together.  I love garlic, so I use a lot.


In another bowl mix blackened seasoning and brown sugar.  (I like a lot of blackoned seasoning)


Heat skillet with a little oil, put salmon in soy and garlic until skillet is hot.  Put salmon in skillet  and cover with some of the soy sauce to coat the bottom of pan, cook 2 minutes and turn, repeat for the second side, at the end of that two minutes cover with brown sugar mixture, flip again, repeat the soy and the sugar mixture for that two minutes.


Wo-la' its done, total cook time is 6 minutes, it should make a nice (kind of thick) carmalized sauce.  All my guest love this recipe.

All of these sound great. Another one that I have used often is to place your filet skin side down, on enough foil to cover it,  Drizzel (or spray) with olive oil, sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. Maybe add a couple slices of lemon, some onion, some thyme or dill. Seal it tightly and cook it about 10 minutes....


If you are using steaks rather than fillets, you can place them directly onto the CLEAN grill as long as you spray or brush them with oil first, just don't leave them in the same place too long....


I grew up in semi- rural Alaska, And have been cooking salmon for over thirty years. In my opinion, nomatter how you cook it, don't overcook it. You can actually eat salmon raw, if you care to. The way to tell if it's done, though. is that it shoud flake easily with a fork and still be moist inside and heated through. It's better to slighty under cook it because it will continue to cook a little after you remove it from the grill.


BY the way, you can substitute salmon for tuna in many recipes.

When I grill salmon I pour an italian salad dressing  over it then I season with lemon pepper seasoning. The salad dressing keeps it from drying out and the lemon pepper also adds a little kick to it! hope this helps!

If it was dry you certainly cooked the salmon too long. The fish should be opaque but still moist and flakey. I wrap my salmon in aluminum foil and then put it on the grill, that way it stays moist.  I was raised in Alaska on fresh wild alaskan salmon so I know a good salmon recipe.


  Be sure to salt and pepper the salmon and if you want put some garlic powder to taste. Then add your grilling sauce. My mom's grilling sauce equal parts of soy sauce, brown sugar (it really brings out the flavor), water and olive oil. You can also use lemon juice instead or in addition to the soy sauce. Marinade the fish if you have time, if not just put the sauce on the fish and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the fish is done and enjoy. I hope that helps.

When I grill salmon , I wrap each fillet  in foil ! I start with a little olive oil ,rubbed all over each fillet . I buy a marinade sauce like, "Honey Teriyaki" for a sweeter taste or a szechun BBQ sauce for a bolder Flavor. Grill on a medium low heat while turning 1-2 times , for about  8 minutes. If you open the foil and you feel that they are still too pink for your  taste, just throw them back on for a few extra minutes. (Some fillets are thicker than others) This is easily adapted to a skillet as well. Just sear in olive oil for several minutes and pour a little of your favorite sause from above over the top and let it warm for the last minute of cooking.

I use a marinade of 1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tbsp. of dijon mustard.  mix these 3 together and pour over salmon.  Let marinate in fridge @30 minutes.


preheat grill to @ 325 degrees.. Oil the rack with a paper towel.(using tongs)--place flesh side down on the grill and cook @ 5 or 6 min then flip and brush with left over marinade and cook 5 or 6 minutes longer....
