Salmon with Scallions and Bacon

August 11, 2009 by Jennifer Che 5 Comments

Bacon Scallion Salmon

This dish is so easy to make (literally 10 minutes), presents beautifully, and tastes delicious. I can’t take credit for this recipe. I actually learned it from my husband’s mom, who used to make this for her family all the time. I recently brought it to a potluck and it was a huge hit.

I used Wild Alaskan Sockeye salmon, which naturally has a beautiful red hue and also tastes incredible. The bacon also adds a nice smokey flavor to the dish. Moreover, this not-so-secret cooking method keeps the fish nice and juicy (not dry!!).

Ingredients
1 piece of salmon filet
raw bacon (3-5 strips – enough to cover the fish)
scallions (~2 stalks)
salt & pepper
garlic powder

Step 1
Remove most of the fat from the bacon and cut up the bacon meat into small strips approximately the width of the fish (around 10-15 cm by 1/2 cm).

Step 2:
Cut the scallions into similar sized “strips.”

Step 3:
Lightly sprinkle salt and garlic powder on both sides of the fish. Lay the scallions and bacon across the fish, covering the entire fish.

Step 4:
Cover and microwave for 4 minutes (if the fish is already defrosted) or 6 minutes (if the fish is frozen).

Step 5:
Serve and Enjoy. It really is that easy!

    May I ask, how long it should be cooked in the oven or under a grill? I don’t have a microwave and would like to cook this for my wife.  I can hear you all say “awwwr how nice”

    Hi Adski01,

    Time required to grill salmon really depends on the thickness and size of your salmon. It also depends on how rare you like your salmon. I like it pretty rare, so I may only grill a 2 lb filet of salmon for 3-5 minutes. (See this post: https://tinyurbankitchen.com/2011/09/grilled-salmon-with-mint-honey-mustard.html) As for baking, I love slow baking mine in the oven at low temperatures, like in this post: https://tinyurbankitchen.com/2010/08/slow-roasted-salmon-with-dill.html

    Best of luck and hope your wife enjoys it!

    Jen

    Hi Jen,
    thanks for your response. I will give it a go trying to grill it. I presume that I can grill the salmon with the bacon, scallions and seasoning on top?  Sorry to be asking simple things but I like to follow instructions very closely.  Otherwise, I guess I could grill the salmon on it’s own, then add the bacon and scallions from a frying pan. Cheers
