Lees Salmon Baste Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk Catalina salad dressing, melted butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill together in a bowl. Brush over the salmon fillets.
• Cook salmon on the preheated grill, basting regularly with the sauce, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Arrange the oven racks so that one is in the top third. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly oil.
• Combine the red wine vinegar, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of the honey and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the paprika in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until simmering, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until reduced and syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Set the sauce aside.
• Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Arrange the salmon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and season with the paprika mixture. Spoon the sauce over the salmon.
• Bake the salmon until it is an opaque light pink and is partially cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the salmon from the oven and set the oven to high broil. Baste the salmon with the sauce pooled on the baking sheet. Return the salmon to the oven and broil until the tops start to brown and caramelize, 3 to 5 minutes depending on your broiler.
• While the salmon is cooking, whisk together the lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon honey in a large bowl. Add the watercress, almonds, mint and currants to the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Serve the salmon warm with the watercress salad.

Steps:

• Add the salmon to a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki sauce over the fillets. Using a pair of tongs, flip the fillets to coat them completely in the sauce.
• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the fillets to the skillet and cook on the first side for 5 minutes, being careful not to let them burn. Carefully flip the fillets and cook another 2 minutes on the second side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Pour the remaining teriyaki sauce from the shallow dish into the hot skillet. Grate in the zest of 1/2 lime and allow the mixture to bubble and reduce for a few minutes. You do not want it to be super thick or sticky. Once reduced gently, nestle the salmon back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over top.
• Microwave the pouch of rice according to the directions on the package. Pour the rice onto a serving platter.
• Carefully transfer the salmon to the bed of rice. Spoon some sauce over top of the salmon and rice. Garnish the platter with the cilantro leaves. Cut the remaining lime into wedges and arrange along the edge of the platter for serving.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat.
• Stir in brown sugar until dissolved.
• Add lemon juice and wine.
• Stir and heat through, about 5 minutes.
• Place filets in a well greased grill basket; grill on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals (they used alderwood) for 4-6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness, or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.
• Turn often, basting with each turn.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk Catalina salad dressing, melted butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill together in a bowl. Brush over the salmon fillets.
• Cook salmon on the preheated grill, basting regularly with the sauce, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F In an ovenproof casserole dish large enough to hold all 4 steaks, combine leeks, water, olive oil, and lemon zest. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes, stirring once half way through. Remove from oven, push leeks aside, and add steaks to the dish.
• Spoon leeks evenly over the fish, season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, until salmon is opaque, about 10 to12 minutes. To serve, divide the leeks onto four plates and top with the salmon steak.
