Grilled Salmon needs to be kept simple without a lot of added spices to keep the natural flavor of the meat your main attraction while the spices only enhance your salmon rather than overwhelm it.
After making this for dinner I was told "This is the best salmon I have ever had." I didn't think to ask at the time how much salmon they have had in the past. It's very easy to grill salmon and it gives it such a wonderful flavor.
Grilled Salmon
"The Best Grilled Salmon Someone has ever had"
That's a catchy title there!
Your Ingredients:
- 1 Full Salmon Fillet
- 4 Pinches of Rosemary
- Salt & Pepper
- Olive Oil
Directions:
Prep: Turn on (gas) or start (charcoal) your grill.
- Cut off the last 4 - 5 inches of the tail side of the fish and cut yourself 4 equal fillets. In order for everything to be ready at the same time you need your serving sizes to be the same thickness.
- Place the fish skin side up and lightly coat with oil.
- Place the fillets skin side down using the indirect heat method and turn your grill to medium (gas) or put the lid on and close your air restrictors down 2/3 of the way closed (charcoal) Sprinkle salt, pepper, & rosemary on the salmon.
- Wait 3 minutes then spray or brush on some olive oil to the top side of your fillets and then flip them over to a direct heat source. Grab a corner of the skin and you can pull them right off the fish. Then close the lid.
- Wait another 3 minutes and then flip them again. Close the lid and wait 2 more minutes then take them off the grill.
That's all there is to it. I like my salmon cooked medium with a tiny bit of pink in the center. If you like yours well done add a minute to the first flip and a minute to the second flip.
