Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2-3 slices of slab bacon cut into 1/4" bits
1 tbsp. butter
1 scallion (red onion is bolder)
4 oz. ommegang wheat beer
8 oz. wild sockeye salmon filet.
liberal toss of sea salt

Steps:

1. bring bacon, butter and scallion to temp at medium high in a sauté pan just browning the bacon before adding the butter. so long as the bacon is lean, it will leave some nice residue in the pan, the beer will deglaze this residue, that is a good thing... 2. Add the beer and allow it to just boil before reducing the heat to a strong simmer. 3.add the salmon (skin side down) to the just under boil beer-y goodness. toss some sea salt on there and cover the pan. after three minutes, the fish should just begin to firm, flip it so that it's skin up. three more minutes. pull the cover off. enjoy the fragrant steam. let the liquid reduce a spell, if you like your fish on the med-rare side, pull it and cover it lightly and set aside while you reduce. 4. reduce the liquid to about half it's volume. 5. pour that goodness on the fish. 6. eat like a champ.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb salmon fillet, tail section about 12-inches long
2 tsp garlic salt
3 Tbsp brown sugar
4 Tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 12-oz bottle beer

Steps:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Using aluminum foil, create an oblong cooking tray (approximately 13 inches by 8 inches by 2 inches) to be placed directly on grill.
3. Place salmon fillet in center of tray.
4. Season first with garlic salt, sprinkle with brown sugar, and then cover with pieces of butter.
5. Top with sliced red onions.
6. Pour beer of choice into tray to just below the highest point of the fillet.
7. Cover tray with aluminum foil to envelope fish completely.
8. Place tray on grill, cover with lid, and grill for approximately 8 minutes or until just cooked through.

Tips:

Choose the best salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon fillets or steaks. Fresh salmon should have a vibrant color and a mild, briny smell.
Season the salmon well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or dill.
Cook the salmon to perfection: The ideal internal temperature for cooked salmon is 145°F (63°C). This will give you a moist, flaky fish that is cooked through but not overdone.
Use a good quality beer: The beer you use will impart flavor to the salmon, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A light, crisp beer like a pilsner or a pale ale will work well.
Don't overcook the salmon: Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create a perfectly cooked salmon dish that will impress your friends and family.
