WARNING: SEATTLEITE AND FORMER ALASKAN FISHERMAN HAS ENTERED THE THREAD WITH RECIPE.

And it’s all too easy. First of all, never overcook or undercook your salmon. There is about a two minute grace period inbetween. The fish should flake with a fork, and once it does, your are in business.

Recipe 1

  1. Smear the salmon liberally with mayonnaise, the more the better, but don’t over do it. It has to be the “real thing”, fat-free mayonnaise won’t melt the way it’s supposed to and you will end up tossing it because it tastes horrible. Plus, I never said the recipe was a healthy one. :smiley:

  2. Sprinkle it with lemon pepper - again, don’t over do it - I have seen fish tossed overboard because of too much lemon-pepper.

  3. If your grill is big enough to hold a cookie sheet, use that, cover it with aluminum foil and toss it in on medium high heat. If not, make a boat out of aluminum foil; take a few sheets, lay them flat, and turn up the edges so the juice doesn’t drip everywhere. When your taking it off the grill, put a cookie sheet up to the edge of the grill, then slide the aluminum foil onto the sheet.

  4. Grill the fish on medium to medium high or until flakey. Tip: If you wan’t perfect fish, you have to keep an eye on it all the time.
    Recipe 2, My Favorite:

  5. Mix 1/3 parts of brown sugar, soy sauce, and water.

  6. Let the fish marinate as long as possible without the salmon going bad.

  7. Grill on medium high until flakey.

4)Savor every tasty morsel.
Fisherman’s secret: The part along the belly of the salmon is always the tastiest. It has something to do with the higher fat content. When I fished we had to save that piece for the skipper.

My favorite salmon ever was an albino king salmon. It had white flesh like a halibut and tasted awesome. I also liked the steelhead(ocean-going trout), the most beautiful fish on earth, IMO.
