How To Make Grilled Salmon Steaks

We love to cook on the grill when we are on a camping expedition. I've used this flavorful salmon recipe several times and we always enjoy it. The Dijon mustard and fresh ginger root help make the tender fillets a tempting main dish that looks impressive.

What You'll Need

4 Fish steaks

1/4 cup Lime juice

2 Teaspoons of  Vegetable oil

1 Teaspoons of  Dijon mustard

2 Teaspoons of Fresh ginger root -- Grated

1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne pepper

Black pepper

• For the steaks: they should be 8-10 ounces and 1-inch thick each. Swordfish or Halibut can also be used in this recipe as a substitute for Salmon steaks.

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the lime juice, 1 tablespoon oil, ginger, cayenne pepper and enough freshly ground black pepper to suit your taste.

Step 2

Marinate the fish in the marinade for 45-60 minutes. Turn steaks 2-3 times.

Step 3

Have the grill prepared with white coals and brush the cooking grill with the remaining one tablespoon oil.

Step 4

Grill the fish, brushing several times with the marinade, until  cooked through and opaque in the center.

Turn fish after about 4-5 minutes. Total grilling time will depend on your grill and the heat of the coals.

• To broil instead, use a broiler pan brushed with oil and broil until center is opaque.  This wiill take about 10 minutes total in broiler. Turn steaks after 5 minutes, and baste often with marinade.
