Ingredients

  1. 1½ pounds Alaska Sockeye Salmon
  2. Cooking spray
  3. 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  4. ½ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
  5. ½ cup white wine
  6. 2 Tablespoons melted butter or extra-virgin olive oil
  7. 2 Tablespoons finely minced fresh garlic
  8. 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Remove Alaska Sockeye salmon from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Heat grill to 375°F. Cut 2 pieces of wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil about 6-inches longer than the salmon side. Stack the foil pieces (shiny side down) on a baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray. Place the salmon, skin side down, in the middle of the foil. Fold the foil sides and ends up (1 to 2-inches) to make a shallow pan around the salmon, leaving at least a 1-inch margin around the fish. Season salmon with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the wine, butter, garlic and herbs. Spoon the mixture over the top of the salmon, drizzling with any remaining liquid. Carefully transfer the foil pan to the center of the preheated grill. Do not cover the salmon with foil or close the foil over the salmon. Close grill cover and cook for 10 to 13 minutes, cooking just until fish is lightly translucent in the center – it will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove from the grill and let rest a few minutes before serving.
  2. Roast in an oven preheated to 375°F, cooking 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly translucent in the center. Be sure to let the salmon rest a few minutes before serving.

Salmon came from Alaska fishing trip. Used a variety of fresh herbs from the garden, including the garlic.
Nice recipe
Thanks

Great using the smoker!!!

Excellent sockeye  salmon recipe.  Made as directed, using butter and in the oven, and it was delicious.   I had fresh parsley and used that for the herb.  It was a quick and easy recipe using items I usually have on hand.  
Timothy Williams
This recipe turned out perfectly. I also used freeze dried herbs (basil and cilantro) but added fresh garlic. Delicious!
Dale Ewing
Turned out perfectly!! I had a little thicker piece of sockeye so I did 12 min and it was perfectly moist and flakey! A great and easy recipe! Will save and make again!
James Carter
This was good for keeping the salmon from being dry, but there was WAY TOO MUCH SALT. I like salty things, but this amount of salt overpowered the herbs and wine. Use less than half of the recommended amount.
Courtney Hernandez
I’d look elsewhere.
Jackie Jenkins
Delicious! I used fresh Dill & Cilantro.

I used one clove of garlic and turmeric, thyme and tarragon for herbs mixed in the butter – it was amazing!
