I'm looking for some good recipes to cook salmon other than what I normally do. I've heard you can grill salmon, but I'm not sure how to do it and I don't want to ruin it.
Normally, I just put it in a skillet with some butter and I've tried different spices like garlic, lemon, etc.
I purchased some cedar planks that can be used on the grill for cooking salmon..talk about something good! You can find them on the internet, just type in cedar planks for cooking. I think they were around $17.00 for 6 and can only be used once, but well worth it.

I simply throw it skin down directly on the grill (medium hot) and a little salt/lemon/butter basting... (throw some wood chips in if you have them - particularly alder - the smoke flavor is wonderful). It's okay to cover the grill. Grill about 10 minutes per inch thick is a good rule of thumb... I keep an eye on it, and just when the thickest part of the Salmon turns from the jelly red raw to a little lighter pink (firm) I take it off the heat and let it sit for a couple minutes, then enjoy. Use a big spatula.
If you're worried about breaking it up, cook on top of a sheet of aluminum foil.
I have the thicker plank also for the oven, but I don't think I want to use it on the grill (too pricey). The disposable ones work great and they are $17.95 for 6 from the website I ordered from.
place in a pan and melt all and just bring to a boil, then place your salmon in a bakeing dish or you can zip loc it and let it marinate for 3 or 4 hours, over nite is better and then bake.
In an oven 350 for 30 min.
On grill you will have to experiment for time, haven't done it that way yet! It goes great with just vege's or over rice. Any fish works great this way.
Lay on foil, skin side down.
Spread on some butter, sprinkle with brown sugar, and drizzle some honey over it.
Wrap in foil put on grill (or in oven).
Wait till done, but not long (depneds on size and thickness) then ENJOY!
Also put in foil, cover with Italian dressing (and some butter), again cook on grill or in oven.
BTW, if you cook fish (or anything else) on the grill and it sticks, great way to clean it is to take some foil and put it on the grill (shiney side down) turn on the grill, does this with the last of the briquets, close the lid and let it get real hot. After a while when you lift the foil the grill will be covered with a fine ash. Brush off and grill is clean and ready to go.
We are all good at something.....
I just happen to be a good bad example.
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 T. honey
2 T. butter
2 T. Dijon mustard
1 T. soy sauce
1 T. olive oil
pinch of salt
1 lb. salmon fillet
Melt together brown sugar, honey and butter. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients except for salmon. Blend well. Place fillet, skin side down, on heavy duty foil. Cut foil to outline of fish, leaving a crimped edge. Spread glaze atop fillet, then place foil supported fillet on grill. Heat on medium-high, brushing often with any reserve glaze. Fillet is done when it flakes easily with fork (about 8-12 minutes).
