Lemonade Salmon Recipes

BAKED LEMON GARLIC SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Make the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika and black pepper. Give the sauce a good whisk.
• Prepare a sheet pan lined with a large piece of foil (should be large enough to fold over salmon). Brush top of the foil with extra virgin olive oil.
• Now, pat salmon dry and season well on both sides with kosher salt. Place it on the foiled sheetpan. Top with lemon garlic sauce (make sure to spread the sauce evenly.)
• Fold foil over the salmon (seam-side up). Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part (cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fish. If your salmon is thinner, check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick, 1 1/2 or more inches, it may take a bit longer.)
• Carefully remove from oven and open foil to uncover the top of the salmon. Place under the broiler briefly, about 3 minutes or so. Watch closely as it broils to make sure it doesn't overcook and the garlic does not burn.)

SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
• Place salmon in the baking dish. Mix the butter and lemon juice in a small bowl, and drizzle over the salmon. Season with dill, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until salmon is easily flaked with a fork.

LEMONADE SALMON

Steps:

• Tear off a sheet of aluminum foil large enough for the fish, butter the area where the fish will lay.
• Place fish on the butter and place slices of sweet onion on top of the fish.
• Place 4 or 5 pats of butter across the fish.
• Pull foil up along the sides to create a boat like cradle and pour thawed lemonade onto fish, about half the can.
• Roll the foil up to seal the juice inside and cook at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Iit is important to try and keep the juices inside the foil until the fish is cooked.
• Remove from grille with spatulas or in the oven use a 13" x 9" cake pan to catch any drippings.

LEMON GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Season salmon fillets on both sides with lemon pepper.
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Stir in garlic. Place salmon in pan. Cook for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Flip fillets halfway through cooking to brown on both sides. Sprinkle with lemon juice before serving.

GRILLED LEMONADE SALMON

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemonade, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the salmon, making three 1-inch incisions. Put the salmon and onions in a baking dish and pour the marinade over. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour, flipping halfway through.
• Remove the salmon and onions from the marinade and discard the remaining liquid. Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Place the salmon on the pan skin-side down. Arrange the onion rounds and lemon slices in the pan around the fish.
• Cook 3 to 5 minutes, then flip the fish, onions and lemons. Grill until the salmon is cooked through and the onions are soft and lightly charred, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Place the salmon on a platter. Garnish with the grilled onions, lemon slices, lemon juice and parsley and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

BAKED LEMON-BUTTER SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and place salmon fillets in the dish.
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high in 30-second increments until melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Mix lemon juice, salt, and pepper into the melted butter; pour over the salmon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 18 minutes.

LEMON-RUBBED SALMON

Steps:

• Put the lemon zest and juice, garlic, tarragon and olive oil in a shallow, non-metallic dish and stir together. Season with salt and pepper, then add the salmon fillets. Turn them to coat in the mixture, rubbing it in to the fish well. Cover and set aside for 10 mins.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and wrap in foil, if barbecuing. Cook for 5-8 mins over hot coals until just cooked through. (Alternatively, heat the grill to high and put the salmon fillets on a baking sheet. Grill for 7-10 mins, until just cooked through.) Serve with a couscous and rocket salad.
