We have been making all kinds of delicious fresh fish recipes this summer like this grilled halibut recipe and this camping fish taco recipe.

Fish has become a staple in our diet as the boys and I have picked up an avid interest in fishing! Most of our fish recipes are made using fresh fish that we have caught.

Grilled salmon steaks:

• 6 salmon steaks, 1.5″ thick
• 1 1/4 cup bourbon (or dark alcohol of choice)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 orange, juice
• Parsley, for garnish

Directions:

1. Rinse and pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towel.
2. Mix together bourbon and brown sugar in a large baking dish.
3. Place steaks in the dish and use a spoon to cover each one with the marinade mixture.

4. Sprinkle fresh garlic over the steaks and squeeze the juice from half of an orange over top.

5. Refrigerate for at least two hours.

6. Heat the grill to 400 degrees.

7. Cook the steaks for 5 minutes on each side.

8. Top with fresh parsley and serve.

We love this paired with grilled vegetables like fresh green beans or asparagus topped with cheese sauce.  I am a salmon loving convert after tasting this yummy recipe for the first time.  Now we have it once a week at least. 

We’ve experimented with a few variations, and used Swerve brown sugar sweetener for a low carb version of this dish.

Camping essentials for grilling:

• I love using these non-stick T-fal Frying Pans for all of my sauteing.
• These silicone tongs are perfect for flipping and grasping food.
• This Henckel Knife is my favorite for slicing and dicing in the kitchen.
• These grilling bags make clean up a breeze and these parchment paper bags are perfect for packaging.

We recently returned from an epic fishing trip to Prince Rupert and were lucky enough to bring home tons of fresh salmon and halibut. Costco has great deals on fresh salmon as well.
