Cooking Salmon

This probably isn't blazing any new territory, but I have butchered salmon for years and years....whether it's grilling it or broiling it, I always seem to screw it up.  No matter what I do, it almost always ends up over-cooked.

Anyway, I now have an absolutely fool proof method.  Take a two-layered sheet of tin foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.  Place the filet (4-6 ounces) in the middle of the tin foil.  Lightly spray the top of the filet with cooking spray (I used olive oil) and salt and pepper (or whatever spices you like).  Wrap the filet in the tin foil.  Place in a 450 degree grill (just right on the grate) for 7-8 minutes.  Let stand for a minute or two before opening (watch for steam).

It's absolutely perfect every time.  Unbelieveably moist and cooked all the way through. 

Nice job Hutch

Salmon is a ball buster......... if cook it two seconds too long, it turns into ice cream. 

Actually threw some Salmon in some tinfoil last night !!!!  Not on the grill but just threw it in the oven.  It came out half raw and I ate it half raw

HUTCH !!!!!

Keep forgetting to poach.......... It's a solid technique and I always forget to do it.

The big boys throw down a Court Bouillion or something in that poaching liquid.  Easy way to control temperature and delicate meat.

Is good but just keep forgetting to do it

Anybody ever poach shrimp?

It's delicate...... Sounds like a better idea than a vicious boil.

Seeing Wall in the Food Forum is 

Didn't know you that you even eat Wall.  Robo Mod.

Just kidding

Hey Wall........... are you watching the US Open?

Who you thinking is gonna get to the finals?

For that record............... Fried doesn't listen to other's opinions on other peoples.  Fried makes time to get involved..  My buddies hate you but you have probably saved me from a box or two from drunk posting so I respect that. 

Friied is not dramatic.......... Just likes good food.

Like the fact that your meal took forever tho.

That means you actually eat.

Wall................. You actually brined a chicken?

That's pretty bitching

Normally people don't go that much trouble unless it's a turkey or something.

That's good

Chicken.....................

Can do anything with it but gotta tell ya.

Now do what the Mexicans do......... Just boil it and shred it.  Stick it in some tupperware and make soft tacos for days.

Or slice it in strips.

For the record..................

The best feeling is waking up and going to the fridge and seeing some ALREADY cooked chicken

That means, all gotta do is toast some bread and load up scoop mayonnaise and get a GOOD MEAL!!!!

Toss about a two handfulls of spinach on that chicken sandwich............. maybe some oil/vinegar.................. dijon...........

Call it a MEAL!!!!!!!!!!

you butchered this thread too.  get yourself together, hutch.

this is how we cook it and just about everything else.

i highly recommend it.
