I've got this whole salmon fillet…

What can I do with it?  It’s pouring rain so I don’t really want to fire up the BBQ or soak some cedar planks.

Here’s a recipe we got from ‘BC’s best salmon recipe’ book and have used it quite a few times with great results.

You make the BBQ sauce first, then pour it over the fillets and broil on high (top rack) 10 min per inch.

The sauce consists of:

  • 2 TB melted butter (or more)
  • 2 TB lemon juice
  • 2 TB ketchup
  • 1 TB Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 TB minced onion
  • 1TB brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp salt

Pour the ingredients into a saucepan and heat until it starts to bubble.

The key is getting the cooking time right, and tucking parts of the filet so that the thickness is more uniform.  Time counts, an extra 45s can make a difference, so keep a fork ready to test if it is done.

crack some pepper and lemon juice over the fillets, and serve!

    Durwin this is very easy , all you need is panko. first wipe salmon skin dry, put fillet skin down in hot oil, press panko crumbs down on fillet side, generously, i sprinkle dill sea salt and pepper,turn once , might need more oil to make panko crispy, drizzle with the thick kind of balsamic before serve. you could serve this in less than 10 minutes. mom
