How to Prepare Salmon for Grilling

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village I'm Laura Banford. I'm going to show you how to make a seafarer's double. Now we're going to prepare our salmon for grilling. Normally when I prep salmon or any other fish or shrimp for that matter for cooking, I like to add a little lemon or lime juice. But I'm going to reframe from doing that here because the sauce that we're making has pressico which is sparkling white wine, which is acidics and vinegar obviously in acid. I don't want the acids to become over powering so I'm not going to do that this time. But what I will do is take my beautiful piece of salmon and that's about a pound so it will serve two very easily, hit it with some salt and pepper. I like to mix the salt and pepper so I grab it in one go, I'm going to take a little bit of garlic about a half teaspoon. I don't want to over power the fish in any way. I'm going to turn it over on the skin side. This fish has been scaled. You have to ask your fish monitor to scale it for you. But you can definitely leave the skin on and that is a good way to go when you're grilling it cause it gives it a little substance, hit it with a little olive oil one side and the other. When we come back we're going to grill our salmon."
