Author Notes
At a friend's home 20 years ago, I first tasted this grilled and brined salmon and pasta. For the next two years, I begged for the recipe and he finally relented.
The marinade brines the salmon and keeps the fish moist. Some people swear it tastes like beef!
Johnny's Seafood Seasoning is the secret ingredient. If your grocery store doesn't carry, you can buy it at www.johnnysfinefoods.com. Oh and mix any leftover salmon with a little cream cheese and capers? Great salmon spread for bagels or pitas! —Mi Casa Del Lago
