Salmon on coals on the grill

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make salmon on coals on a grill? First of all, prepare the fish and all the products that you will need. Fish can be used fresh or frozen. You can also take ready-made purchased steaks. If you have frozen fish, then it needs to be thawed at room temperature in advance. Gut the carcass, peel off the scales and wash in cold water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Dry the salmon with paper napkins to remove excess moisture and cut into pieces no more than 3-4 centimeters thick.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mash the peas in a mortar. You can use a ready-made mixture of ground peppers, but hand-chopped peas are more fragrant.

4. Step 4:

   

   Spread the steaks on a flat surface. Sprinkle a little salt, pepper and rosemary on top. Dry Provencal herbs are very well combined with red fish, so they can also be used for pickling. Squeeze out the juice of half a lemon.

5. Step 5:

   

   Turn each piece of fish over and add salt and pepper again, add rosemary and lemon juice. Pour a small amount of vegetable or olive oil over the steaks. With light massaging movements, distribute the lemon juice and oil throughout the fish.

6. Step 6:

   

   Put the salmon in a plastic bag or food container and leave for a while. It is not necessary to marinate red fish for a long time. While the fire is burning in the grill, there is usually enough time for the fish to be saturated with the aromas of spices.

7. Step 7:

   

   Light the grill. When the embers remain, you can proceed to the next step.

8. Step 8:

   

   Wash, dry and lubricate the grill with vegetable oil (this is necessary so that the fish does not stick to the metal bars during cooking). Place the steaks at a small distance from each other on the grill.

9. Step 9:

   

   Send the fish to the grill.

11. Step 10:

    

    Periodically flip the grate to the other side.

12. Step 11:

    

    Cook until the salmon is covered with an appetizing golden crust.

13. Step 12:

    

    It takes very little time to cook steaks. You can check the readiness by piercing the meat with the tip of a thin sharp knife, if you see a clear liquid, then the fish is ready. If you overdo the steaks on the grill, they will turn out hard and dry.

14. Step 13:

    

    It took approximately 8-10 minutes to cook medium-sized steaks in moderate heat.

15. Step 14:

    

    Salmon on the grill is ready, you can serve it in this form.

16. Step 15:

    

    I suggest supplementing juicy steaks with lemon and fresh herbs. To do this, mix in a small deep container the juice of half a lemon, quite a bit of vegetable or olive oil (literally 0.5-1 tsp), finely chopped dill and ground pepper. If you have large and fat enough steaks, then butter can be excluded.

17. Step 16:

    

    Apply the resulting mixture with a silicone brush to each piece of fish.

18. Step 17:

    

    Serve!
