Equipment
  • grill
  • thongs
  • airtight container(s)
  • Knife
  • mixing bowls
Ingredients
  
For the salmon:
  • 5 oz salmon fillet x6
  • 3/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil minced
  • 3 tsp dried thyme
  • 3 tsp curry powder
  • 1/3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 tsp pepper
For the tartar sauce:
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/3 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp green onion chopped
  • 3/4 tsp dried dill
Instructions
 
  • Grab a mixing bowl and combine all the ingredients necessary for the salmon marinade, including butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, as well as all the seasonings and herbs listed.
  • Transfer the marinade to an airtight container and add the salmon pieces, making sure they're all coated evenly.
    The salmon should sit in this marinade in your fridge for at least 30 minutes, but it is necessary to flip the pieces a couple of times during the marinating period.
    This step will allow for all the salmon pieces to absorb the flavors and aromas, which is the key to a perfect Roadhouse grilled salmon.
  • While the salmon is marinating and absorbing all the delicious juices, you can prepare your homemade Texas Roadhouse tartar sauce by simply combining all the listed ingredients in a small bowl.
    Once you have a perfect consistency of the tartar sauce, seal the bowl and let the sauce chill in the fridge until it's time to serve the salmon.
  • Once the salmon is ready for the grill, you want to take it out of the fridge and drain the excess marinade, as you don't want the fish to burn.
    Add some cooking oil onto a paper towel and lightly go over the grill rack, making sure to use thongs for your safety.
    Before placing the salmon fillets onto the grill, make sure it has reached the recommended temperature, which is around 450°F.
    If the grill isn't hot enough, this is one of the reasons why your fish keeps sticking to the grill rack.
    Once the grill is ready, place the salmon onto the rack skin-side down, which is the key to getting that crispy salmon skin, but also preventing the fish from sticking to the grill.
  • Cover the grill and set it to moderate heat to prevent the fish from burning.
    Grill the salmon for about 8-10 minutes, or until you're satisfied with the texture. The skin should be golden and crispy, while the inside of the fillets should be very tender and soft.
    Take the tartar sauce out of the fridge, then plate the salmon and drizzle the sauce on top, or simply serve it as a dipping sauce on the side.
