Ingredients
  • 4 salmon steaks
  • 3 cups (750 ml) water
  • 5 tbsp. kosher salt
  • Salt-free herbal seasoning
  • High-temp oil
  • Baby potatoes or rice
  • Seasonal veg
Method
  1. OPTIONAL: Debone and tie your salmon steaks into medallions.
  2. Preheat your Napoleon Griddle to medium-high, about 400°F (200°C).
  3. While your griddle is preheating, brine the salmon by combining the water and salt, mixing thoroughly. Brine the salmon in the water mixture for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. When water beads on the surface of the griddle, remove the salmon from the brine and pat them dry. Season well with your favorite herbal seasoning.
  5. Put down some high-temp oil and sear the salmon on one side for 2 to 4 minutes, until they release easily from the griddle. Flip and repeat until an internal temperature of 125°F (Med) to 145°F (Well) (51°C to 63°C) has been reached.
  6. Serve these herby salmon steaks with your favorite seasonal veggies and a Sauvignon Blanc or try a citrusy IPA.
