Description

This is a grilled salmon recipe that is used at the Saint Matthew Parish picnic every year in Seattle, Washington. It works well with any cut of salmon for grilling, however we typically use salmon fillets. Use wild sockeye or king salmon.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
  • 1 (3 pound) salmon fillet, with skin

Instructions

  1. Make a pan out of aluminum foil by doubling up layers of foil large enough to hold your fillet. Place the foil onto a cookie sheet. Lay the fillet onto the foil with the skin side down. In a small bowl
  2. stir together the oil
  3. soy sauce
  4. Worcestershire sauce
  5. lemon juice
  6. ginger
  7. honey
  8. basil and shallots. Pour over the salmon and let it marinate while you preheat the grill
  9. about 20 minutes.
  10. Preheat a grill for medium-low heat. Slide the foil with the salmon off of the cookie sheet and onto the grill. Cover with the lid and grill the fillet for 10 minutes per inch of thickness
  11. about 20 minutes. Salmon should be able to flake with a fork
  12. but not be too dry. When you serve the salmon
  13. the skin will stick to the foil and your grill will remain clean. Simply slice and use a spatula to scoop the fillet off of the skin to serve.
