Howdy, I'm pretty much a stranger to this forum because I pretty much DON'T cook. Bill is returning home tomorrow from a fishing trip in Alaska where he's bringing back over 100 lbs of halibut and salmon. We're giving away a lot of it to friends and a local soup kitchen but I was hoping to get a few tips on how HE can cook the fish on the outside grill or in our deep fryer. Oh btw, I should mention I hate fish and especially the smell of it in my house. Thanks in advance, reincarnated Flipper <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> aka Sandy

Thanks Chef Brian. Bill actually enjoys cooking and experimenting so I'm sure he'll try it out.

For salmon... I like to grill it in foil... take foil, enough to make a pouch around each piece... Spray with PAM... S&P both sides of the salmon filets and place in the foil... top with thinly sliced onion, thinly sliced lemon, and parsley... Grill on medium hot, about 5 minutes a side or until it just flakes easily... Serve with Dill Sauce... YUMMM!
[color:"blue"]Dill Sauce Recipe[/color]:
4 tsp. butter 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. prepared mustard 1 egg yolk 1 tbsp. chopped dill 1 tbsp. flour Dash of pepper 3/4 c. bottled clam broth 1 tbsp. lemon juice
Melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and mustard. Add broth gradually, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and boil 2 minutes. Stir in dill.
Beat egg yolk in a small bowl. Stir a few tablespoons hot sauce into egg yolk, then add to butter mixture in saucepan; heat, stirring constantly, just to boiling, but do not boil. Stir in lemon juice. Pour sauce over salmon.

Thanks Georgia. I think Bill's going to have to stock up on some spices not already in the cabinet.

Sandy both are very easy to cook on the grill and cook quickly. We cook salmon either on a cedar plank or directly on the grill. We filet the salmon and cut in pieces or leave whole(your choice) Just sprinkle with lemon pepper and cook for 12-15 minutes and you have a lovely meal. Halibut is nice cooked in foil with butter and onions and a few spices to taste. Both are great fish and very healthy. Wish I was closer when Bill arrives with 100 lb. of fish! I sure would be a happy camper as we both love fish. Fish chowder is very good too and very easy to make. Now I'm salivating!

I have some friends who did the same thing--came back from Alaska with so much halibut they had to stash the overflow in the freezers of friends! So, they've spent this past year exploring halibut options. Here's a link to one of their favorites--fish tacos. Since you have a deep fryer, this would be a snap. The buttermilk/hot sauce marinade is the key to this dish. You don't have to make all of the accompaniments, but the pickled onions are particularly delish. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Fish-Taco-Platter-233703

Thanks all. He's back from Sitka safe and sound and he wasn't fooling when he said he caught a LOT of fish. He's on the way to the food shelter as I type. I'll point him to this thread and he can cook to his heart's content...while I'm in work <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> ps If anyone is in to this kind of trip, he said it was absolutely fantastic. Here's the website: www.kingfishercharters.com

Sandy, I have a friend that goes fishing in Alaska for salmon every year... Gets the salmon he catches smoked & canned at a local cannery, with his own custom label on the cans!

Bill was just telling me a few stories about some of the people at the resort. He mentioned a ladies angler group where one woman was on dialysis, she fished one day, flew to Juno for dialysis the next day and came back the following day to resume her fishing. Man, I wish I had a hobby that I was that passionate about or maybe not.

Here is a recipe for Salmon. I've made it many time sand everyone loves it. You can vary the heat be altering the amount of red pepper and you can also use Sambol Oelek rather than the dried pepper.
Salmon Szechuan
1 – 2 lbs. Salmon fillets ¼ cup soy sauce 2 T Brown Sugar 2 Tsp. Honey 1 ½ tsp minced garlic 1 tsp minced ginger ¼ cup lemon juice 2 small dried hot red chili peppers finely chopped with seeds Crushed peanuts (garnish)
Combine all ingredients and brush generously over the salmon. Bake the salmon 2 400 till done. Time will vary based of thickness of fillets and degree of doneness desired. If cooking salmon on the grill, grill flesh side down first w/o sauce. Brush with sauce after turning. Serve with additional sauce and garnish with crushed peanuts if desired.

Thanks George. I think we just ran out of our stash of Sambol Oelek <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

It's amazing how versatile that stuff is. I use it in all kinds of recipes where a bit of heat is needed.
