Real Copper River Salmon

Submitted by Eli Totz

"This recipe was inspired by seeing someone serve salmon with cheese. Why?"

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 4 lbs copper river salmon
• 1⁄2 - 1 cup butter (or however much you feel comfortable with)
• salt
• pepper
• Chardonnay wine (Preferably cheap. I drink red only)
• 1 yellow onion
• 2 heads garlic

directions

1. Chop garlic and onion coarsely.
2. Melt butter Rub salmon with butter and then salt well (salt makes things taste good).
3. Sprinkle with pepper and marinate salmon in onions, garlic, melted butter and Chardonnay for at least an hour (as usual, the longer the better).
4. Grill until done and serve immediately (remember it's about 10 minutes an inch, but that assumes a 400 degree grill, so adjust accordingly).
5. You will impress people!

Marinating in butter seems weird and not cooking the onions and garlic in the butter beforehand seems odd too. The salmon was good (of course), but I'm not sure the marinating added much to it.

I used this on fresh, fresh salmon from Seattle and my non-fish liking friends loved it.

Just viewing the page reminds me how tasty it is!

The salmon turned out very tasty, but I felt the onion and garlic was wasted, as did another reviewerd.

My local Wegman's (PA, outside of Philadelphia) is flying in fresh Copper River Salmon, so I couldn't resist trying this recipe, even though it does seem a bit backwards ... but "the proof is in the pudding" and this came out tasting wonderful with the veg not sticking -- I used a grill pan, rather than an outdoor grill. With raw materials this good, the key is simplicity and speed in cooking and this recipe comes through. Thanks for sharing!!
