Our friend Jennifer prepared this incredible (and simple) grilled salmon for us when she was part of the family a few years back. I can still remember that meal: it was bursting with scent and flavor. We have repeated it many times since. If you have a barbeque grill, this way of cooking salmon is a must. Salmon is a notable for its high Omega 3 content. Watch mom’s video below. Written instructions follow.
Ingredients
Salmon fillets, washed and patted dry
Finely minced garlic, 2 cloves per fillet
Lemon juice
Dill weed
Salt and pepper
Sheets of foil, one per fillet
Steps
1. Lay out each fillet on a sheet of foil. The foil sheets need to be large enough to do a tight wrap before you whisk the salmon to the grill. Place each fillet skin-side down.
2. Sprinkle each fillet with garlic, lemon juice, dill weed, salt and pepper. Adjust the amount to suit your own taste and the tastes of those you will be feeding.
3. Wrap each fillet into a tight packet. This packet keeps the juices in and keeps the fish moist.
4. Place on a pre-heated grill and close it up. Figure 4-7 minutes per side depending on how thick the fillets are. Having the fish in packets keeps it from burning too quickly and the packets facilitate the turning. Quick and easy!
5.Serve immediately with homemade tartar sauce. This is mouth-wateringly good. No one comes late to dinner on this one.
Variations
a. Try this method with other solid fish like swordfish steaks or halibut.
b. Make some packets of veggies to grill. Just be certain to put them on a few minutes sooner than the fish.
