Tomorrow I will be presenting the following grilled Salmon recipes for CBC's Weekend Morning Show with guest host, Laurie Hoogstraten. The Sockeye Salmon is a wild caught fish from a sustainable source. They are expecting a huge run this year. Fillets, steaks or whole can be purchased at Gimli Fish.
A classic preparation is quite simple with Lemon, Dill and butter but I thought that listeners may be interested in trying a few other ways.
For increased enjoyment at the grill, try a BBQ sheet available at D. A. Niels. You can get grill marks, keep the moisture of the food and nothing falls through! Also try soaking a Cedar Plank and cooking the fish on the grill on the cedar.
