Grilled Garlic Salmon
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 Vital Choice sockeye salmon fillet (24 ounces)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 sprig fresh dill, chopped
- 5 slices lemon
- 5 sprigs fresh dill weed
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat grill with ample amount of charcoal. (We recommend using real hardwood charcoal rather than briquettes, for better flavor and a hotter fire.)
- Spray two large pieces of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
- Place salmon fillet on top of one piece of foil. Sprinkle salmon with salt, pepper, garlic and chopped dill. Arrange lemon slices on top of fillet and place a sprig of dill on top of each lemon slice. Sprinkle fillet with chopped scallions.
- Cover salmon with second piece of foil and pinch together foil to tightly seal. Place on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish.
- Bake in preheated barbecue for 15 to 20 to minutes, vents partially closed, until salmon flakes easily. After the first 10 minutes, check the salmon every 2 to 3 minutes, lest you overcook it.
- In case of rain, or lacking a covered grill, you can cook it in an oven preheated to 450 F on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish.
