Uncle Bills Salmon Baked Or Barbecued In Foil Food

SALMON BAKED IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle salmon with 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir the tomatoes, shallots, 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
• Place a salmon fillet, oiled side down, atop a sheet of foil. Wrap the ends of the foil to form a spiral shape. Spoon the tomato mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and tomato mixture, covering completely; seal the packets closed. Place the foil packet on a heavy large baking sheet. Repeat until all of the salmon have been individually wrapped in foil and placed on the baking sheet. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Using a large metal spatula, transfer the foil packets to plates and serve.

BAKED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Lay a piece of silver foil, large enough to wrap the salmon in a very loose parcel, on a baking tray.
• If the salmon is to be served hot, grease the foil with the butter, or use the oil if serving the salmon cold.
• Thinly slice the lemon and put about half on the foil.
• Put the salmon on top, with a few slices of lemon inside with onions, if using, and lay the rest of the lemon along the top of the salmon.
• Season generously and wrap loosely, making sure the edges are securely folded together so that no steam can escape.
• Put into a medium oven, 450F (180C), for 10 minutes per pound.
• If serving hot, take it out of the oven and let it stand for a further 10 minutes.
• If serving cold, leave the salmon in the foil for two to three hours.
• To serve: Unwrap the fish and gently pull off the skin.

TANGY BARBECUED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, honey, liquid smoke and vinegar.
• Brush one side of the salmon with the basting sauce. Place the salmon on the grill, basted side down. After about 6 minutes, generously baste the top and turn over. Cook for about 7 more minutes, then brush on more basting sauce. Turn and cook for 2 more minutes. Adjust cooking time if using thin salmon fillets. (Take care not to overcook the salmon as it will lose its juices and flavor if cooked too long.).

WHOLE SALMON BAKED IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Select a baking sheet large enough to accommodate the fish.
• Lay out a long double length of heavy-duty aluminum foil on top of the baking sheet. Place the cleaned salmon in the center of the foil and add the carrot, onion, shallots, celery, thyme, salt to taste, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaf and wine. Bring up the edges of the foil and seal as compactly and tightly as possible.
• Place the fish in the oven and bake 50 minutes to one hour. At the end of 50 minutes, loosen the foil and test for doneness. The fish is cooked when the back center fin can be easily removed when pulled with the fingers. Remove from the oven.

BARBECUED SALMON

Steps:

• Prepare your gas or charcoal grill for indirect heat cooking.
• Combine all ingredients except salmon, whisk to blend well.
• Grill the salmon, skin side down on heavy foil over indirect heat, brushing with the glaze every five minutes, just until opaque but still moist-looking in the center of the thickest part, about 25-30 minutes.

BAKED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
• Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Place salmon in the middle of the foil, skin-side down. Drizzle with olive oil mixture. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. If your salmon fillet is very thick, it can take longer. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.

UNCLE DOBO'S BACON WRAPPED BBQ SALMON

• Prepare your barbecue.
• Double foil piece(s) large enough to hold salmon in a packet.
• Mix together the mayo, garlic, and mustard (if using). Slather the place where the salmon will sit with about a quarter of the mixture.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper. Lay lemon slices on top of salmon. Wrap salmon with the bacon.
• Lay the wrapped salmon on the mayo mixture on the foil package. Slather the wrapped salmon with the remaining mayo mixture.
• Barbecue on the grill until done and flakes easily, which will take about 20-25 minutes. Discard bacon before serving.

UNCLE BILL'S SALMON MARINATED IN MAPLE SYRUP AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• in a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, orange juice, lime juice, garlic and ginger; mix well.
• Place salmon filets in a casserole dish that is large enough for the filets, skin side down.
• Pour the marinating mixture over the salmon and coat well.
• Turn salmon fillets with the flesh side down, cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in refrigerator from 1 to 3 hours or overnight.
• To speed up the marinate time, prick holes in the salmon with a fork and marinate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Heat butter and oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
• Place marinated filets flesh side down into the hot pan and sear for 2 minutes or until lightly browned on the flesh side.
• Using an oven proof casserole dish, transfer the salmon and place into the dish, skin side down.
• Pour the pan juices and the marinade over the salmon.
• Sprinkle salmon with dried dill weed.
• Bake in preheated 400 F oven (uncovered) for 5 to 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• The salmon should be firm, but not dry; do not overcook.
• Serve with Apple Chutney spooned over the top if desired or use any favorite sauce of your choice.
• For those who find sweetness overtakes the flavor of salmon, I suggest that you reduce the Maple Syrup to 1/4 cup.
• This recipe can be doubled without any problems.
