Randys Salmon Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Roasted Onions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine all of the ingredients, except the onions in a medium shallow baking dish. Add the onions, toss them in the mixture and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cover the onions with foil and roast for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue roasting until tender, about 35 to 40 minutes, basting with the juices several times. In a saute pan place butter and melt. Add orzo and tomatoes. Toss until orzo is cooked through. Place the orzo in a large bowl and spoon the onions and the cooking liquid over the pasta.
• Tapenade: Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Salmon: Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste. Spread 2 tablespoons of the tapenade over each piece of salmon (not on the skin side). Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan. Place 4 of the fillets in the pan, tapenade side down, and saute until a crust forms, about 2 minutes. Turn the fish over and continue cooking for about 5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
• Serve the salmon with the Roasted onions.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together.
• Pour over salmon and let chill for 2 hours.
• Grill or broil salmon as desired.

Steps:

• Cut salmon into 4 portions and place in a shallow dish.
• Wisk lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, garlic, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste in a small bowl.
• Use 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice mixture to marinate the salmon.
• Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Stir 4 tsp chopped pitted Kalamata olives into the remaining lemon juice mixture for sauce.
• While salmon marinates, heat grill to medium-high.
• Just before cooking, lightly oil grill rack by rubbing a piece of oil-soaked paper towel over surface (use tongs to hold paper towel).
• Do not spray a hot grill with cooking spray; it could cause an explosion.
• Place salmon pieces skin side up, on grill.
• Close lid and cook for 4 minute.
• Using two metal spatulas, carefully turn salmon pieces over; cook just until opaque in the centre and fish flakes when tested with a fork 4 to 8 minutes longer, depending on thickness.
• Serve the salmon with the sauce and lemon or lime wedges.

Steps:

• Wipe salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Combine remaining ingredients (except lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs) in small bowl and mix well. Pour mixture over salmon, making sure it is coated on both sides. Marinate for at least an hour before cooking.
• Preheat broiler or grill. Cook salmon, turning once - five to six minutes each side for medium rare.
• Place salmon on serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges and sprigs of rosemary.

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients in a shallow bowl.
• Add in the salmon steaks (do not remove the skin!) turn to coat in the marinade.
• Cover and refrigerate for about 35 minutes.
• Discard the marinade.
• *NOTE* to bake the salmon steaks; season the salmon with salt and pepper.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet with skin side down.
• Bake for about 20-22 minutes at 375 degrees.
• Remove the skin before serving.
• Delicious!
