I was searching the Forum, and found a reference to a marinade of salt ,sugar and dill for fish, but I couldn't find the receipe. Could someone help me with the receipe and cooking directions? I am cooking snapper tonight.

Amc,[p]Sorry for the delayed post but here's the recipe as it was given to me. I use it overnight but would think that a few hours would give pretty much the same results.[p]I clean and dry the fish and put it in a long dish. Then, sprinkle it with salt (kosher or sea salt, you are looking for the larger salt particles) lightly, then sprinkle lightly with sugar, then LIGHTLY with dill weed. Repeat this process until the fish looks like its been "snowed" on as I was told, typically I do the process 3 or so times. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When you're ready to cook it, rinse it well and cook it like you would usually cook salmon. I slow smoke mine over very very low heat for several hours, have never tried grilling it after this process but I can imagine it would be good. It makes AWESOME smoked salmon.[p]Hope this helps.[p]Troy

sprinter,
Thanks for the directions. Since I will be pushed for time tonight I'll cook indirect after marinating for thirty minutes with lemon juice, onions, and lemon-pepper seasoning. Just before cooking I'll coat with olive oil, and lay lemon slices and onion slices on the snapper. Think I'll try cooking at 325 till the snapper flakes. My next cook I'll try the salt, sugar and dill coating overnight. I do appreciate the directions.
