Basic Salmon Preparation

Basic Salmon Preparation

Another tasty dish from chef/co-owner David MacDonald

For oven:

Pre-heat oven on Broil for 10 minutes.

Lightly rub salmon with olive oil.  Place top side down on broiler pan, 2^nd rack from the top.  Cook 5 minutes, flip, add salt, pepper or other seasonings to taste. Broil another 5 minutes.  Adjust 1-2 minutes more or less per side cooking time for thin or thick cuts.  A simple, healthful, flavorful addition is to just squeeze some fresh lemon on individual pieces as they are served.

For BBQ grill:

Pre-heat grill on high heat for 10-15 minutes with lid closed.  Prep salmon and add seasonings as above.  Place top of salmon down on grill.  Close lid and turn heat to medium.  Cook 5 minutes, flip, cook other side for 5 minutes with lid closed.  Increase by 1-2 minutes cooking time per side for thicker cuts.  Ready to go!

 

*Chef’s tip: set timer for cooking times for best results
