Hi Bobbi! I've purchased & cooked up sockeye salmon. The texture is very different from the Atlantic kind of salmon. I was wondering how you prepare yours? Is the texture always tough? TIA, Kathy:D
 
Hi, Kathy. Sockeye is great for broiling or grilling because it's oiliness keeps it from drying out. It takes 8-1o minutes depending on the size and shouldn't be tough at all. Be sure to remove it from the grill in time because it continues to cook after it's removal from the heat and it's easy to overcook it. My favorite recipe is finely chopped garlic, ginger, soy sauce, water and a touch of honey. I marinade the fillets for about an hour and make enough marinade so I can brush the fish as it cooks. I sometimes just use salt, pepper, lemon and butter. You can use basil or any favorite herb in the butter to change the flavor of the dish and it takes very little to add flavor when herbs are added. Garlic too. Adding finely chopped garlic to butters or with lemon makes it better to my mind. ;)

Hi Bobbi! I was baking it. I'll try broiling it as you suggest. Thank you so much for the marinade recipes. I'll try it next week. Take care, Kathy:D
 
I have never had any luck baking fish. I'm in Arizona and we grill year round but the soy/ginger salmon is great under the broiler. I don't cook anything well in with the oven, which is good since it becomes off limits from May to November most years.

You are welcome I hope you like them!

I'm hungry too but there's nothing here I want to eat so I think I'll take a 30 minute nap and dream abouat rice krispie treats.
