How to Make Barbecued Fish Steaks
- Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional) to the pan. Simmer for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Let the sauce cool completely.
- Pour the cooled sauce into a large resealable plastic bag.
- Add 12 (6-ounce) salmon steaks to the bag.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes, turning the bag every 20 minutes to ensure even coating.
- Remove salmon steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates.
- Place salmon steaks on the preheated grill, about 2 inches from the heat source. Grill for 3 minutes per side, basting frequently with the reserved marinade.
- Continue grilling for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
