Place the Steak Plate in the top of the grill and the Grilling Plate in the bottom. Set the lever to the front. Set the temperature to Medium to allow the grill to preheat. When the green light goes off, the grill is preheated. Place the salmon steaks on the Grilling Plate and top with a tablespoon of marinade, scooping up as many sliced shallots as possible and spooning them over each steak. Discard any remaining marinade or, if desired, you may boil the marinade for 5 minutes (to kill any bacteria) and use the hot marinade as a wonderful sauce. Close the lid. Cook the salmon for 7 minutes. Check the fish with the tip of a knife and continue grilling for 1 to 2 minutes, if necessary.

What do you use to harvest salmon?

There are a number of different ways to harvest salmon, depending on whether you are a commercial, subsistence or sport fish user. Sport fishermen can catch salmon using a rod and reel with lures. Salmon are not caught using bait, lures only. Commercial fishermen use gillnet and seine boats. Gillnets boats use large nets that are set out as far as 1000 feet from the boat. These nets lay out for several hours, and when reeled in are full of salmon (caught in the net holes with their gills). Seine boats use the same method though in a larger scale. Purse Seines set their sets in a big ring, then cinch the purse to collect all fish inside the ring. Subsistence users use dipnets to catch the salmon when they are swimming by, or fish wheels (large wheels that collect fish in pockets and hold them in a tank until they are removed by the operator).

Answer2: In addition to the above comment, I read a very interesting article about the salmon. In order to breed many salmon species swim upstream, facing turbulent waters along the way. Instead of being overwhelmed by the rough water these fish actually take advantage of it. The do not plough through chaotic water. Instead when swimming upstream, they conserve energy by using vortices, or miniature whirlpools , that form where the water flow is disturbed by rocks, branches, or other objects. As the vortices form on alternating sides of an object, the fish curve their bodies from side to side and glide between the pockets of turbulence. Some schools of fish use the vortices created by the fish swimming in front of them, effectively riding in their wake. The fish can take advantage of rhe turbulence created by their own bodies. Researchers hope to borrow from the salmon's efficient swimming style to harvest energy from slow-moving water.

Is the L in salmon silent?

English is a Germanic and, for the longest time, old English resembled old German. In German, you pronounce every letter of a word and a lot of German words are still present in modern day English. That is why a lot of modern English words require you to pronounce every letter. An example is "hat" which is "hut" in German.

When the vikings and Norms (French) conquered Britain during the middle ages, new words started to enter the English language. And, it is from these non-Germanic words that you get these silent letters.

Salmon comes from the old french word "salmun." The French removed the "l" and changed it to a "u" so the modern french word is now "saumon." English just kept the "l".

Reference: I speak German and English and know the background of both language (as well as french since all 3 languages are related).
