Caramelized Bbq Salmon Recipes

CARAMEL GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Sprinkle salmon with salt and cayenne; set aside., In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard, butter and dill. Place salmon skin side down on a greased broiler pan. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5 minutes. Brush half of the glaze mixture over fillets. Broil 7-10 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork, brushing occasionally with remaining glaze.

CARAMELIZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Dip each filet into the bowl and coat the entire surface of the salmon with the sugar/salt mixture.
• Heat a little bit of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the salmon, skin side down in the pan, and saute for about 5 minutes. If you're worried about the burnt sugar in the pan (or if there's too much oil/liquid) just drain it off or spoon it out of the pan. If there's a lot of oil splattering, turn the heat down. I would not recommend going higher than medium heat.
• Flip each salmon filet (carefully! keep the skin on there because it helps the filets hold together) and saute for another 2-3 minutes. Flip to the side and saute each of the sides for another 2-3 minutes, if the filet is thick enough.
• Preheat the broiler to 450 degrees. Sprinkle the top of each salmon filet with a teaspoon or two of additional sugar/salt mixture. Transfer the pan from the stovetop into the oven. Let the salmon broil for 5-10 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure it's not burning. The sugar in the pan might look burnt but that's okay as long as the tops of the salmon are looking golden brown. When the salmon is done cooking, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes (that sugar gets HOT). Gently peel off the skin before eating - it will be very dark because it's totally caramelized with sugar, and it should come off very easily.

CARAMELIZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine basil and ginger.
• Coat the salmon fillets with basil/ginger mixture on both sides and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook for serving, combine the soy sauce, orange liqueur, orange rind, and shallot in a bowl; set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Combine the black pepper and sugars in a shallow dish.
• Press one side of the salmon fillets into the mixture, then sauté the fillet, sugar-side-down, to caramelize the sugars, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Then quickly pour the soy mixture into the pan before the sugar burns, stirring to dissolve any caramelized bits floating around the pan.
• Turn the fillets over and lower the heat to medium; cover the pan and cook for 5 to 8 minutes longer, until fillets are cooked through (they will be dark pink in the middle).
• Remove fillets from skillet and place on serving platter; melt the butter in the pan then add the Marsala, stirring the bottom with a wooden spatula, and simmer for 3 minutes to deglaze the pan, then pour over the fillets.
• Decorate with orange slices, serve, and enjoy!

GRILLED SALMON WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high.
• Lightly mist both sides of each salmon fillet with spray. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly mist a large sheet of aluminum foil and place it directly on the grill rack, spray side up. Set the fillets side by side on the foil so they do not touch. Grill them until the salmon is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer each fillet to a plate and top each with half the onions. Serve immediately.

CARAMELIZED BBQ SALMON

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the salmon.
• Mix the lime juice and teriyaki sauce together.
• Place the salmon in a bowl and pour the lime mixture on top. Mix thoroughly so that the salmon is coated.
• Place the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
• Cook on a hot barbecue - about 3 minutes each side (more if you want the salmon cooked all the way through - I like mine a little rare in the middle).
• Serve with roast potatoes and salad.
