The safest way to thaw frozen salmon is to place it in a bowl and gently thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. If you don’t have time, place the salmon in a resealable plastic bag and submerge it in a bowl of cold water. Check on it every 30 minutes, replacing it with new cold water if the fish isn’t yet thawed. Pat the thawed fish dry with paper towels before cooking.
Absolutely! Smoking salmon on your own will take about 3 to 4 hours in a smoker or grill. For a shortcut, follow our smoked salmon recipe that uses liquid smoke.
Bake until the fillets just begin to flake easily with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving.
My family enjoys this healthy salmon recipe very much, which makes it a winner in my book. The capers really give it a burst of flavor. And since the salmon are grilled in foil, there's almost no cleanup!
