A few years back, a friend and I were walking along the beach at dinner time. People were taking advantage of the nice weather, enjoying their swims in the lake, and cooking their dinner on the provided metal grate bbqs. We passed one such bbq, and couldn't help but comment how delicious their food smelled... what was it they were making?? We were told it was salmon with brown sugar and rock salt, gave us a generous sample, and we were on our way, changed people. I have been a fan ever since, and this is my version:
4 sheets of phyllo pastry
1/4 c. olive oil
1/2 salmon fillet, skinned and deboned
1/2 c. whole unrefined cane sugar or brown sugar
1 t. rock salt (make sure not to overdo it!)
1/2 lemon, squeezed
1-2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill, or 1 t. dried
a few dabs of butter
Oil the sheets of phyllo according to directions. Place salmon on phyllo. Sprinkle with sugar and rock salt. Squeeze lemon all over, and sprinkle with dill. Dab with butter.
Wrap up phyllo to make a little salmon present.
Bake at 400 for 30 minutes or until done. Salmon will flake with a fork when it is cooked.
