Derrick and I both love salmon and order it all the time at restaurants, but have never cooked it at home. My dad’s grilled salmon is what I always ask for on my birthday, so I asked him for some tips. He uses a dill marinade, which is pretty hard to find. So I went with Lemon Pepper marinade which was just as good, I think. I bought fresh salmon from Price Chopper and marinated it for a couple hours (I think 30 minutes will suffice, though). Derrick fired up his awesome grill and put the salmon skin side down directly on the grill. It got a little seared where it touched the grill, but I think that actually gave it more flavor. Derrick would probably disagree. He grilled them a little less than 10 minutes, coated them with more marinade, flipped them, and left them on about 4 minutes longer. We checked to make sure they flaked with a fork and removed them from the grill. I think they were perfect and absolutely delicious. Derrick liked it, too (maybe not as much as me). We had wild rice and green beans with it. I am going to have to find another type of rice that he likes better, though. Wild rice is not his favorite. I just love it, though – especially with fish. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Anyway, I sure hope I can talk him into grilling salmon again! I think this is my favorite thing we’ve made.
