Indoor Grilled Salmon Recipes

GRILLED SALMON I

Steps:

• Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
• In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil until sugar is dissolved. Place fish in a large resealable plastic bag with the soy sauce mixture, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Place salmon on the preheated grill, and discard marinade. Cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

MEXICAN GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Dry the salmon fillets off with a paper towel. Season each filet with a little salt.
• In a small bowl, stir together Mexican spice blend, garlic, olive oil and lime juice. Spread the resulting rub over the salmon fillets and set aside while you make a chile verde sauce or a fresh salsa, as well as any vegetables that you will have with the salmon.
• Set a cast iron or non-stick grill pan over med-high heat and wait for it to get hot, about 5 minutes. Brush the pan with some olive oil and add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for a couple of minutes to sear and then turn the salmon to the other side and cook for another minute. Do not overcook or it will be dry. Salmon is done when it is no longer translucent, and it does keep cooking after you remove it from the pan.If using an indoor grill just place in a hot grill, close the cover and grill for about 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness of salmon).
• Serve with chile verde sauce or fresh salsa and green vegetables.

INDOOR-GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 20 minutes before grilling.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set a large cast-iron grill pan over low heat and pre-heat for 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, brush the salmon lightly with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Raise the heat under the grill pan to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up on the grill, at an angle across the ridges of the pan. Cook until the fish has distinctive grill marks, about 3 minutes. To make cross-hatched grill marks, use a spatula to re-position the fillets about 45 degrees (keep the skin-side up). Cook 2 minutes more. Turn the salmon over, and transfer the grill pan to the oven. Continue cooking the fish in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes for pink inside, 5 minutes for medium, and 7 minutes for well done.
• Remove the fish from the pan, and let rest for 2 minutes, to finish cooking. (If the skin comes loose during cooking, you may remove and discard it before serving, if desired.) Serve.
