On the grill on coals

The salmon is cooked on a grill placed on a grill with hot charcoal. The most suitable wood for barbecue is fruit trees:

  • pear;
  • plum;
  • Apple tree.

Oak, maple and birch firewood also work well. Not suitable - cherries, grapes, aspen and resinous coniferous trees.

The firewood should burn to the point of hot coals so that the meat is never fried over high heat.

To get a tasty steak on the grill, it is also important how long it is fried. Place the steaks on the grill, placing a larger piece of foil under each one. The edges of the foil are raised so that the juice does not leak onto the coals.

If you want to thoroughly saturate the salmon with fire smoke and get characteristic lattice marks on its surface, you don’t need to use foil. Then you will have to wipe the grill with vegetable oil or a raw onion so that the tender salmon meat does not stick to it.

You need to fry for at least 5 minutes on each side, so the fish pieces need to be turned over during the barbecue process or a closed grill grate should be used. The grill is convenient because you don’t have to turn over every piece of fish.

The salmon steak should be golden brown, slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The crust should be golden brown, the flesh underneath should be light, and the middle should be pink.

The principle of cooking steak over charcoal is the same for any recipe - the fish must be kept on the fire for 5-10 minutes until a crispy crust forms.

Cooking secrets

Salmon is an extremely tender and delicate fish that both adults and children will enjoy. Its great taste is almost impossible to spoil. But when preparing it you need to remember the basic rules:

  • For cooking, you can use either a whole fish carcass or fillets or steaks.
  • The fish should be cut into pieces measuring 4-6 cm; smaller pieces will fall apart on the skewers.
  • The fish is marinated for no more than 1-1.5 hours; the smaller the pieces of salmon, the less time they should be marinated.
  • While meat kebabs are salted immediately before frying, fish is best salted during marinating - this will make it more juicy and elastic.
  • Salmon cooks very quickly - 8-10 minutes is enough for complete frying.

The most aromatic smoke and lasting heat are produced not by store-bought coals, but by firewood from apple, pear, apricot or other fruit trees.

With orange juice

To obtain an indescribable citrus flavor, orange juice is added to the fish marinade, and the finished kebab is served with tartar sauce. Ingredients for barbecue:

  • 1 kg fresh salmon fillet;
  • 20 ml orange juice;
  • 20 ml olive oil;
  • 2 cloves of garlic;
  • 5 g ground thyme;
  • salt, fish spices, ground white pepper.

List of ingredients for tartar sauce:

  • 100 g mayonnaise;
  • 50 g pickled cucumber;
  • 1 clove of garlic;
  • 2-3 sprigs of herbs (parsley, green onions or dill).

We prepare the salmon as in the previous recipe - wash it, clean it, cut it into pieces, put it in a bowl. We then follow this action plan.

  1. The pieces need to be sprinkled with salt, spices and chopped garlic.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and freshly prepared orange juice.
  3. Place in a cool place for 40-120 minutes.

In the meantime, you need to prepare the grill so that the wood burns out and turns into hot coals. Remove the fish from the marinade, thread it onto skewers across the grain and fry on both sides until a crust forms.

While the kebab is grilling, prepare the sauce - mix mayonnaise, chopped cucumber, garlic and herbs. Salmon is served with a side dish, the sauce is served separately in a gravy boat.
