Asian Grilled Salmon Or Halibut Recipes

ASIAN GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking.
• While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
• Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits.
• Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

GRILLED ASIAN SALMON

Steps:

• In a shallow glass dish, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and vinegar.
• Add salmon and turn to coat all sides. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, turning occasionally. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill and place the salmon on the grill. Grill about 5 minutes per side. Test for doneness by placing a knife blade into the center to see if the pink flesh has become opaque.
• Serve warm.

ASIAN GRILLED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Combine dressing and onions. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing mixture for later use.
• Pour remaining dressing mixture over fish in shallow dish; turn to evenly coat both sides of each fillets with dressing mixture.
• Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate.
• Heat greased grill to medium heat. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade.
• Grill fish 6 to 7 min. on each side or until fish flakes easily with fork, brushing occasionally with reserved dressing mixture.

GRILLED SALMON OR HALIBUT

Steps:

• Rinse fish and pat dry. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice and olive oil; pour into a zip lock bag. Add fish to bag, seal and turn to coat evenly. Chill 30 minutes.
• Meanwhiule, cut 4 pieces of heavy foil, each slightly larger than the fish. Rub ONE side of each piece with oil. Arrange foil, oiled-side up on a large baking sheet.
• Start grill and prepare for indirect-heat cooking.
• Drain marinade from bag and discard. Place each piece of fish on a piece of foil (for salmon, place skin side down). Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Transfer fish, on foil, to grill. Cover or close lid. Cook fish until opaque but still moist looking in center, about 20 minutes.
• With spatula, transfer fish to plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED GINGER SOY HALIBUT

Steps:

• 1. In small saucepan, combine all ingredients, except the halibut. Over medium heat, mix until sugar is dissolved.
• 2. Put Halibut in a non metalic pan or ziplock bag, pour marinade over fish. Marinate in fridge for about 30 mins. I make a double batch of marinade and seperate, one batch for marinating and one batch for basting.
• 3. Oil grill grate and preheat grill. Place halibut steaks on grill and cook on each side for about 5 minutes, basting with marinade while fish is cooking.
• 4. Grill until done, halibut should be opaque through to the middle and flake easily with a fork. Discard extra marinade that has had contact with the raw fish.
• 5. Notes: Instead of mincing the garlic and ginger, I like to grate it. Seems the grating brings more flavor. I never add the salt I have never added the herbs I have made this with the honey or the brown sugar, very little taste difference. Actually, I used Splenda brown sugar. I have used the grill, oven broiler and grill pan on top of the stove to cook the fish for this recipe. They all work fine.
