Per Krim's suggestion, dinner was salmon baked with lemon, rosemary, thyme, and butter (Smart Balance, actually)... Accompanied by roasted red potatoes and mixed vegetables.

Not bad at all, though a chargrilled salmon steak would've been great.

Yeah, it did. :thumbsup:

I'll have to try grilling a piece of salmon next time (next week?).... The flavor grilling imparts can't be beat. :)

If you're going to grill, make sure you get a filet w/ skin..

and putting a nice coat of miso and letting it sit in the fridge overnight wouldn't be a bad idea. :mrgreen:

Miso?? :headscratch:

A fillet without skin would dry out on the grill, ne? Even if coated with oil?

If you like the miso-salmon soups, then coating it overnight will impart a bit of miso flavor to the salmon. As you grill it, the miso will cake and fall off as it dries. Or you can wipe it off before you grill.


Yeah, a filet without skin would dry out faster, and make it easier to grill. I dont like to coat fish in oil, it tends to flame up more than I like.. i dont like a char grilled salmon. Im really more of a smoker...
apple chips soaked in de-alcho'd sake, in case you were wondering.

Yeah, it turned out pretty well, though the salmon didn't have that nice, smoky grilled look to it since it was baked.

Wonder if I could use the broiler on the salmon... :headscratch:

leave the miso on the salmon if you want to use the broiler, middle rack if your oven has one... the miso will get a nice burnt flavor added in... basically, you're using the miso as a barrier to the steam generated by the cooking salmon.

that's what i do.
