GRILLED SALMON STEAKS

Steps:
- Take a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil and place flat on the counter. Put your piece of salmon skin side down. (I prefer mine without the skin) Bring the edges up a little so you won't have any spillage.
- Cut the butter into little pats and dot the top of the fish. Place the brown sugar on top and spread evenly over fish. Sprinkle the soy sauce, worcestshire sauce and garlic powder over the top as well.
- Fold up the long sides of the foil and roll down to seal, then do the same to the other sides. Make sure it is sealed very well so that the yummy juices won't leak out.
- Put on medium-high grill and let cook for about 15-20 minutes, depending on your grill. Once aluminum puffs up it should be done.

Steps:
- Have the samon fileted leaving the skin on.
- This is important and keep cold.
- Melt together the butter and honey in the micro or another way.
- Lay the filet out skin side down and pour over or quickly brush on the honey and butter.
- Sprinkle the dill weed over.
- By having the filet cold the honey and butter mixture will congeal and the filet will be easy to handle.
- Place the filet skin side up over a moderate grill.
- As soon as the meat just starts to firm up turn to skin side down. (The skin will keep the filet together)
- Remove from the grill as soon as the meat starts to flake. (On large filets I use two spatulas)
- Serve with a green salad and au gratin potatos.

GRILLED SALMON, NORTHWEST STYLE
This is an original recipe of mine. The smoke flavor is delicate, the fish is moist, and it is great served hot or at room temperature - marvelous for entertaining. Leftovers are delicious as part of a main dish salad, and are equally good in a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and country bread spread with a basil and lemon-seasoned mayo/sour cream mixture. Directions are for charcoal grilling because I like the flavor, but this can be prepared on a gas grill as well.

Tips:
- To ensure the tastiest grilled salmon, opt for thicker fillets (1 ½ inches or thicker) that will stay moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
- Before grilling, marinate the salmon in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices to enhance its taste and prevent it from drying out.
- If you prefer a crispy skin, pat the salmon dry before cooking and score the skin to allow the marinade to penetrate and create a crispy texture.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure a quick sear that locks in the salmon's natural juices.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the hot grill and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Conclusion:
To achieve the perfect grilled salmon, select thicker fillets, marinate them in flavorful ingredients, pat them dry and score the skin, preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and cook the salmon skin-side down for 6-8 minutes, or until it flakes easily. By following these tips and the Northwest-inspired recipes provided in this article, you can impress your friends and family with a delicious and unforgettable grilled salmon dish that showcases the natural flavors of this exceptional fish.
