How To Make smothered grilled salmon

  • Step 1
    Cut the salmon in serving size portions, and remove any bones with tweezers.
  • Step 2
    Place pieces of salmon in a baking dish, skin side down. Place a nice thick layer of the sliced green onions on top of the salmon.
  • Step 3
    Now pour a generous amount of your favorite Italian salad dressing on top of your onion smothered salmon. Careful not to knock the green onions off.
  • Step 4
    Season with fresh ground pepper.
  • Step 5
    Cover baking dish with plastic wrap, marinate for at least one hour in the refrigerator.
  • Step 6
    Prepare your grill. Oil the cooking grate well. You will be cooking directly over the hot coals.
  • Step 7
    On average, fish should cook for 10 minutes per inch. Time your cooking accordingly to the thickness of your fillets. I find my salmon is usually done in about 7 or 8 minutes.
  • Step 8
    When coals are nice and hot, carefully place your fillets, with onions on cooking grate. Cover grill, and DO NOT TURN FISH!
  • Step 9
    When fish is done, remove to a platter, trying to keep the onions intact.
  • Step 10
    This is so yummy, ENJOY!
