Grilled Marinated Salmon

The recipe (here, adapted from a wine advertisement) called for cutting the salmon into strips before grilling, but I find that cooking it intact results in a better preparation and presentation. Also, using several skewers (metal or wooden) makes it easier to turn the fish.

For those who avoid salmon because of its "fishier" flavor, this method of preparation eliminates a lot of that. This is the only way my wife will eat salmon, in fact...

You will need 1 - 2 lb fresh salmon fillet (wild salmon is in season now - but on the downside, the 2008 catch has been smaller than usual, and prices have gone up quite a bit). The finished dish is shown served with pan roasted small white potatoes (sliced and finished on the grill) and sauteed Hen of the Woods mushrooms.

(This is my first post here... but I enjoy cooking, and the contest sounded like fun...)

Step 1 Prepare marinade for salmon

Blend the following ingredients in bowl, mixing well:

1/4 cup each olive oil, white wine, freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 small lemons)
2 tbs. each fresh minced garlic, Italian (flat leaf) parsley
1 tbs fresh chopped mint
red pepper flakes to taste

This looks delicious!

I grill fish quite a bit and have never tried your (genius) skewer method... but I'll sure try it now. Thanks for sharing!!!

I don't like the fishy flavor either, but salmon is ok tasting. But I bet you can't even taste a hint of fishyness in yours. The garnishment looks fantastic, I want some can I come over to eat please? You may want to add some photos to step one and two. Add a photo of all of your ingredients and during the preparation. Great job on your first instructable.
