Spicy Garlic Salmon Recipes

SPICY GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a medium baking dish with aluminum foil. Lightly grease foil.
• With a mortar and pestle, grind together the garlic, chile pepper, and olive oil. Mix into a thick paste with the mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, and coat with the paste mixture.
• Bake salmon 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

SPICY SALMON WITH TOMATOES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease a shallow baking dish and place frozen fillets inside. Rub fillets with butter and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 16 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomato and reduce heat to medium. Cook until tomato has softened, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove salmon from oven and place on 2 plates. Drizzle with tomato-garlic mixture on top of salmon and serve immediately.

SPICY SALMON MARINADE

Steps:

• Cut fish into 4 portions.
• Whisk together wine, olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Pour over salmon and seal bag closed, letting out excess air. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning after 30 minutes. Remove salmon from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place on a plate to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place salmon flesh-side down on the hot grill. Close the lid and grill for 3 minutes. Flip and grill an additional 3 to 4 more minutes. Sprinkle with salt before serving, if desired.
