Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (3 pound) whole filet of salmon, skin on, scored (up to but not through the skin) into serving pieces
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup minced fresh dill
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.
  • When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.
  • Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.

GARLIC BUTTER AND DILL BAKED SALMON



GARLIC BUTTER AND DILL BAKED SALMON image

Categories     Fish     Bake     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

~1lb Salmon Fillet
~4 tbsp Butter/margarine
~2 tbsp chopped garlic
~1.5 tbsp chopped dill
~1 tsp crushed sea salt
Ground peppercorn medley
1 lemon
EVOO

Steps:

  • Start by chopping the dill, I LOVE dill and can use it in almost everything so use according to your taste. Also, a little fresh rosemary tastes good with the dill, or basil. Pre-heat oven to 350 Combine butter, 1/2 garlic, and a few pinches of salt and microwave until melted; I also add a little dill to the mix. Slice Lemon into ~8 circular slices (about 5mm thick) Line pan with Foil and use nonstick spray. Place a few slices of lemon on the foil; I used 4 and my fillet was half of a long fillet, totaled about 8-9". Spoon a few spoonfuls of the butter-mix on top of lemon, try to minimize run-off. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt on top of that. On the bottom of the fillet sprinkle some more fresh dill and then lay the fillet over the lemon slices; I added a small amount of chopped rosemary to the underside as well. To the top of the salmon, spoon more butter trying to coat the fillet entirely (may need more butter). Use the rest of the garlic and rub on top of the fillet, also sprinkle a little more salt over it; I like garlic and probably used >tbsp here. Grind pepper over the fillet, use however much you like. Use remaining dill over the top of the fillet, evenly. Add more lemon slices, the lemon flavor may be strong if you use too much, i used 2 and saved the remainder for decoration and lemon juice on the plates. Use any remaining butter here and spoon it over the filet and lemons. Bake at 350 for ~23-24min dep. on thickness. Can save some butter for serving/dipping if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. For the best results, use a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet. If you're using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Season the salmon well. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the salmon, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the salmon will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Baste the salmon with butter. As the salmon cooks, baste it with melted butter to help it stay moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Once the salmon is cooked, serve it immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Garlic and dill salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and elegant presentation, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or a special dish for a dinner party, give garlic and dill salmon a try. You won't be disappointed!
