Grilled Salmon With Tomatoes Basil Recipes

GRILLED SALMON WITH TOMATOES & BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• Mash minced garlic and 3/4 t salt in a small bowl to form a paste, stir in oil.
• Check the salmon for pin bones and remove if necessary. Measure out a piece of heavy-duty foil (or use a double layer of regular foil) large enough for the salmon fillet. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil and spread the garlic mixture over it. Sprinkle with 1/3 C basil. Overlap tomato slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining salt and the pepper.
• Transfer the salmon on the foil to the grill. Grill until the fish flakes easily, 10-12 minutes. Use two large spatulas to slide the salmon from the foil to a serving platter.
• Serve the salmon sprinkled with the remaining 1/4 C basil.

MARINATED GRILLED SALMON WITH TOMATO, BASIL, AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Mix first 10 ingredients in bowl.
• Pour marinade into large freezer bag.
• Marinate fish at least 20 minutes with bag sealed at room temperature.
• Thinly slice the tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place fish on hot grill. Add salt and pepper to taste. (Fresh ground is preferred).
• As the fish cooks (3-5 minutes per side), use a brush and mop the marinade onto fish.
• Turn salmon a quarter (90 degrees) after a quarter of the way through cooking. (This will give it nice grill cross hatch marks).
• Flip fish half way though cooking. Add salt and pepper to taste to this side as well.
• Continue to baste the fish with marinade. (Try to use all if possible).
• Turn fish another 90 degrees after 3/4 done cooking.
• Before fish is completely cooked, top it with thinly sliced tomato. Top tomato with fresh basil. Top basil with crumbled goat cheese. Shut the grill for a minute or two before taking fish off. Let rest a few minutes and enjoy!
• Feel free to make the marinade to taste. It should be sweet, and salty, and sour. I did not measure anything out when making this dish. I simply tasted it a few times until it was balanced the way I liked it.

FRESH BASIL AND TOMATO SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Drizzle olive oil onto the prepared pan in an area slightly larger than the salmon fillet. Place tomatoes in a layer on the oiled foil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer basil over top and place salmon on the basil. Squeeze lemon over salmon and season again with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.
