Grilled Salmon With Vegetables

Submitted by GakonaBaby

"Being an Alaskan, I am always looking for new ways to prepare salmon. I came up with this recipe and have had people who don't even like salmon tell me it's good. We usually cook this on our grill but I have done it in the oven also and it has turned out just as good. Practically within throwing distance of the Copper River, I prefer Copper River red salmon, however, silver and king salmon work great as well!"

We used this recipe for Lake Trout and it was AMAZING! The seasonings were beyond delicious and the vegetables were well cooked, yet still crisp. The fillet we used was 1.75 lbs. We grilled it in the foil for 15 mins. on each side on medium heat and actually ended up putting it back on the grill for an additional 15 minutes on med.-high (45 mins. in all) and it was perfect. I think I would error on the side of overcooking it a little as the juices from the cooking vegetables keep the fish moist regardless. All in all, it's one of out new favorite recipes!

This was very good; gourmet restaurant quality. I had about 1 1/2 lbs of salmon; I used about 3 cups of vegetables (zucchini, onion, red bell pepper, and tomato), and all of the seasonings. I cooked this in the oven and the 30 minute cooking time was just right. We joked that the only difference between this and a gourmet restaurant was the valet parking, long wait and high prices!

This is a gourmet dish made simple. This is the only way I eat salmon. I like to vary the veggies; red bell pepper is a must.

I have never cooked salmon before, nor do I eat it. I grilled it, my boyfriend loved and was impressed. It looked beautiful using all the different color peppers.
