Grilled Salmon
Jim WeberSummer classic. No need to heat the house or make it smell like fish. We grill a bunch and freeze the leftovers for weeknight meals.
Course Meat, Fish & Seafood Dishes
Ingredients
- 1 salmon filet per person preferably wild caught
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- drizzle olive oil
Instructions
- If the salmon is frozen, defrost in a pot of water in the refrigerator. This will take 3 - 4 hrs, but can be left in the refrigerator for 24 hrs. We often do this in the morning, or even the night before. Rinse and pat the salmon dry. Using a brush or your fingers, spread a thin layer of olive oil over the fish. Sprinkle the flesh side with dried dill. When the coals are white and ashen, place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down. Close the grill. Cook 4 - 6 mins (checking after 4 mins). The flesh atom should start to whiten. Turn and grill 2 - 3 mins longer.Remove to a plate and let rest 5 mins before serving. (Recipe♦469)
