I love fish that my boys gather out of Lake Michigan. My husband and sons are happy to get out on the water of the big lake and it is always a bonus if they bring back something for momma to cook up and turn into a meal. The most common fish that end up at the end of my boys’ fishing poles are salmon, steelhead, pike and sheepshead. No, I do not have a good recipe for sheepshead so don’t ask…
My favorite way to cook freshwater fish, particularly salmon, is on the grill, wrapped in foil, the filet in good company with a lot of onions, lemons, butter, white wine,minced garlic and fresh herbs. Allow the fish to steam in all the goodies. Depending on the size and thickness of the filet, remember that cooking times can vary.
