Sounds good thanks ;-)

Now we're talkin'! This sounds great. I do absolutely love garlic, but I don't know if I'd use it here because I'm afraid it might overpower some of the more delicate herbal flavors.

I remember my Grandpa from the South talking about that... Its good! ... He usually catches the fish, chops the heads off, and cookes them.. yummy!

I'm not a big salmon fan, but this sounds great with many kinds of fish. How can you go wrong with green onions, ginger and garlic.

Sue - don't be afraid of the garlic. I make salmon a lot and use a mix of powdered garlic, basil. oregano, black pepper and kosher salt. Spread that all over the top of the salmon, mix it in with a little lime juice, and broil or grill it. Comes out nicely every time and since the spices are just on the crust, they don't overwhelm the natural flavor of the fish.

This does sound like a nice change from my regular "recipe" though, so I'll give it a try. It will be warm enough to grill here today - maybe Shannon and the grilling gods are trying to tell me something...

I see what you mean, Shannon. I might try it on a piece sometime. Basil and oregano are stronger herbs, though. I do use garlic with fish quite often. I'm not afraid of the garlic overpowering the fish, but I am that it will the dill and tarragon, especially.

What I am telling you, Jack, is that I am jealous!

I rarely use basil or oregano with fish. But I am getting tarragon next shopping trip. I think it's perfect for fish, even with the garlic :)

I never use basil or oregano with fish!

Well, actually, I do when I make spaghetti with Italian tuna tomato sauce, but that's the only time.

Tarragon, definitely - good call, Shannon. The main reason I don't season my fish with it (at least not salmon) is that I make a Dijon tarragon vinaigrette that my wife likes to use as a sauce for the fish, so I don't double up.

That does sound wonderful.. I think I'm finally developping a taste for some fish.

this sounds really good, too. I like using a ginger/garlic paste that is found in Asian stores. It's a nice blend where you don't get to much of either one.
