Buca Di Beppo Salmon Siracusa (Copycat)

"I have been trying to get more fish into my family's diet, and this recipe makes it easy! In the summer I usually grill the Salmon, and I sometime bake instead of utilizing the method the original recipe calls for...but any way it is a family favorite!"

  • Add marinated salmon, cover and cook until the salmon is done. (appx. 5 minutes).
  • Place 1/2 sauce on the platter and place salmon on top. Top with remaining sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.
  • If grilling:

  • Grill Salmon until done, serve on a platter with sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges.
  • If baking:

  • Place salmon in baking pan lined with foil, and sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees 10 minutes for each inch of thickness in your salmon filet. I cooked mine for 17 minutes on convection (speed bake) and it come out perfect. Once cooked, I added it to the sauce and served immediately!

  1. Delicious! Although it is a little to early in the season for me to grill, I decided to broil the salmon first, then added it to the cooking sauce for a couple of minutes to finish. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly as written and was not disappointed. Thanks for posting this unique way to serve salmon. I will be making this again. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag Game.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
