Barbecue Salmon Recipes

Here are a couple of barbecue salmon recipes for you - the one cooked in foil would be able to be baked in the oven if it should rain and the other one would go under your grill indoors.

Excuse my pessimism, but I am English...

Salmon in Foil
Marinade
1/4pint (150ml) white wine
3 tbspns olive oil
1 tsp paprika
salt and pepper
1 tbspn lemon juice
1 tspn sugar
fresh parsley

4 1" (2.5cm) salmon steaks
olive oil

Mix the ingredients for the marinade and pour over the salmon - leave for about 30 minutes.

Take four pieces of foil and brush with oil - on the shiny side. Place the salmon steaks in the middle and bring up the edges.

Pour the marinade equally between the parcels and then seal tightly.

Place over the coals for about 20 minutes - open the parcel towards the end of the cooking time for the smoke to flavour the salmon.

The second of the barbecue salmon recipes is much simpler as it doesn't require marinading in the same way.

Barbecue Salmon Steaks
4 salmon steaks - about 1" (2.5cm) thick
salt and pepper
paprika
garlic salt
lemon juice

Using a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, add salt, pepper, paprika and garlic salt to taste.

Brush over the salmon steaks. Barbecue for about 6 minutes, basting frequently - turn and baste again - cook for a further 5 minutes or so until the salmon is cooked.
