This recipe adds a marinade to a hot and fast grilled filet.  Adding a marinade for the last couple of minutes of the cook brings a great boost of flavor to the filet. 

Ingredients

Servings

Salmon Filets, pre-portioned, with or without skin

Denny Mike’s Fintastic, Paul Prudhomme’s Magic Salmon Seasoning, or your favorite seafood seasoning

Olive oil, canola oil, avocado oil, or Duck Fat Spray

Asian Sauce such as Teriyaki, Sweet Chili, Thai Curry, or any tangy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Lightly coat or spray the filet with oil. Olive oil is OK, avocado oil or duck fat oil is preferred.

Step 2

Season the flesh side(s) of the filets.

Step 3

Pre-heat the grill to high.

Step 4

Oil (spray or wipe) the GrillGrates with Canola or Duck fat IF the GrillGrates appear dry or are not well seasoned yet.

Step 5

Place the filets on a hot GrillGrate at an angle to the rails just as you would a steak.

Step 6

Allow to sear for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Use the GrateTool to lift and twist the filet (same side down) to put a nice cross-hatch on the flesh.

Step 8

Grill another 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Flip the filets with the GrateTool and see how nicely the salmon sears.

Step 10

If your filet has skin on one side you may want to start with skin down for 1/3 of the cook, then sear the flesh side to be up and ready for the pour.

Step 11

Pour marinade over the salmon allowing it to spill over into the valleys. You can baste with a brush but pouring is more fun! It is OK to make a mess in the valleys, do not worry about flare-ups.

Step 12

Grill to finish by observing the flesh color as it goes to all pink and by testing with an instant-read thermometer. I usually remove at 135-140°F. Enjoy the sizzling marinade!

      Chuck, just a prepackaged teriyaki sauce! But you can use a Sweet Chili, Thai Curry, or any tangy sauce with it.
