Rosemary Barbecued Salmon Fillets Recipes

ROSEMARY GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the garlic and lemon juice with the olive oil and brush generously on the fillets. Season to taste with a fresh grinding of pepper.
• Lay the rosemary sprigs on a hot grill and place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on top of the rosemary. Cover the grill and cook the fillets for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon is done through. The rosemary will brown and lightly smoke the salmon, infusing it with a delightful herb flavor.
• Remove the skin from the fish and discard it and the rosemary. Garnish salmon with fresh lemon wedges.
• If you prefer to roast the salmon, do not soak the rosemary. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Scatter the rosemary sprigs over a sheet pan and place the seasoned filets on top. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the sections of salmon begin to separate when pressed. Remove the skin from the filets and discard it and the rosemary.

LEMON ROSEMARY SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange half the lemon slices in a single layer in a baking dish. Layer with 2 sprigs rosemary, and top with salmon fillets. Sprinkle salmon with salt, layer with remaining rosemary sprigs, and top with remaining lemon slices. Drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

GRILLED SALMON WITH LEMON-ROSEMARY MARINADE & SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut salmon into 4 portions and place in a shallow dish.
• Wisk lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, garlic, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste in a small bowl.
• Use 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice mixture to marinate the salmon.
• Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Stir 4 tsp chopped pitted Kalamata olives into the remaining lemon juice mixture for sauce.
• While salmon marinates, heat grill to medium-high.
• Just before cooking, lightly oil grill rack by rubbing a piece of oil-soaked paper towel over surface (use tongs to hold paper towel).
• Do not spray a hot grill with cooking spray; it could cause an explosion.
• Place salmon pieces skin side up, on grill.
• Close lid and cook for 4 minute.
• Using two metal spatulas, carefully turn salmon pieces over; cook just until opaque in the centre and fish flakes when tested with a fork 4 to 8 minutes longer, depending on thickness.
• Serve the salmon with the sauce and lemon or lime wedges.
