Fresh Catch!

It’s no secret, I LOVE salmon! Earlier this year I posted a recipe for Lime and Honey Baked Salmon, but now that the weather is warmer, it is time to toss the fish on the grill! In the summer, my dad heads up to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (or ‘da UP as “Yoopers” call it!) to visit his cousins and do some fishing.
It is always such a treat when he returns with some gorgeous fresh caught steelhead, and it’s even better when he brings it back all cleaned and filleted! There he is showing off the catch of the day!
This recipe is a simple yet flavorful preparation that really highlights the fish. It tastes even better when I snip fresh herbs from my mom’s garden!
GRILLED SALMON WITH HERB CRUST
Four 4 to 5-ounce fresh skinless salmon fillets, about 3/4-inch thick (or 1 whole piece of salmon)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh oregano
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and halved
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1. Rinse fish; pat dry and set aside.
2. In a food processor or blender, combine oregano, cilantro, green onion, lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, Cover and process until finely chopped. Generously coat all sides of fish with herb mixture.
3. For a charcoal grill, place fish on the rack on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 6-8 minutes or just until the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through grilling. For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place salmon on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above. Makes 4 servings.
