So I was trying to impress someone a lifetime ago, and I asked my very best friend Gretchen what I should cook. I was staying with her at the time in her and her husband beautiful house with a fantastic view. So when both of them out of town it was me and the idea to impress someone I would end up spending the rest of my life with....
2 pounds of salmon, fillet
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of garlic , minced
1 tablespoon of mustard
2 teaspoons of honey
Salt and pepper to taste
When I said this was simple... I meant it! Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl, except for the fish silly!! then pour it on an aluminum foil bowl you have made to fit the fish. lay the fish, meat side down in the marinade. Let the fish sit there in the refrigerator for 30 minutes....that is right, 30 minutes. Take it out and let it rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Now you can cook this many ways, but the best way is on the grill. Cook skin side on the grill, it will act as the pan for 8-10 minutes, direct heat (over the flame or coal). If you want the top caramelized a bit you can cut the time in half and sear it meat side down in a medium saute pane for 4-6 minutes flip it and finish it in the oven for 8 minutes in the oven preheated at 350 degrees. Good Salmon should be medium rare....Enjoy!!
