Salmon Steaks on the Grill, oh yes I've stepped it up. We are out of an apartment and into a house so we can grill which is awesome since it is grilling season year round.
Before I get to the recipe, let me tell you that instead of paying $8.99 a pound for salmon steaks and getting a couple, there was a special for $4.99 a pound for an entire salmon. Um, yes please. We chose the smallest one and then, they ask fileted or steaked. They cut it for me (THANK GOD)! Just for committing to buy an entire salmon I got $4 off - no problem!
Onward, you will need:
4 (or however many you wish) salmon steaks
1 lime
less than a quarter cup of white wine
oregano
salt and pepper
butter
2 fresh basil leaves per steak
olive oil
foil
Turn the grill on medium/high and close it to allow it to heat up. Lay out the foil, shiny side down and fold up the edges to make a tray. Lightly cover the inside of the foil tray with olive oil. Lay the steaks on the tray. Squeeze lime juice over the salmon. Sprinkle the white wine over that. Season to your liking (salt, pepper, oregano). I prefer light on the pepper and heavier on the salt and oregano. On each steak put a little forkful (maybe half teaspoon) of solid butter. Place your two basil leaves on each steak.
Put the foil tray on the grill and close the grill. There will be no need to flip the steaks. Just let them cook for about 10 minutes or until they are pink and solid look not red and see-through.
This was so tender, so delicious, so fast and SO EASY. We will obviously be having a lot more salmon this week, as we have an entire fish. I highly suggest it though, of course. :)
