Seriously though... seafood doesn't get much better than this!
Of course, we couldn't completely agree on how we wanted to prep the salmon for grilling, so we decided to have a little cook-off!
We took two big filets and we each prepped one. They both were cooked on the grill on a cedar plank for the same amount of time...
Andrew's was topped with seasoning salt, lots of fresh-cracked black pepper, thinly sliced onions, and lemon slices (and a drizzle of olive oil).
Mine was spread with a layer of mayo (yep!), seasoning salt, garlic pepper, and also had lemon slices!
They were both amazing!
My mayo version (a recipe I learned from some friends... a Norwegian fishing family!) was a bit more moist, but they were both so full of flavor... and I loved the onions on Andrew's version! And actually a bit more olive oil on Andrew's version would have balanced out the moistness of both.
Bottom line... It really doesn't matter much what you put on a salmon, if it is as fresh as this one was!
YUMMM!!!
