Prepare the Salmon:
Begin by inspecting the salmon fillet for any bones. Use a pair of tweezers to remove any bones you find. Next, carefully peel the skin off the salmon by running a sharp knife between the flesh and the skin. Once you have the fillet prepared, season it generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. -
Prepare the Mustard Marinade:
In a small bowl, combine the mustard and white wine vinegar. Stir well until the mixture is smooth. This will be used to marinate the salmon and give it a tangy flavor. -
Assemble the Package:
Lay the salmon fillet on a sheet of parchment paper. Then, using a brush, generously apply the mustard mixture over the top of the fillet, making sure it is evenly coated. -
Prepare the Vegetables:
Wash the baby carrots, new potatoes, and radishes. Slice the potatoes into small chunks for even cooking. Arrange these vegetables around the salmon on the parchment paper. -
Wrap the Salmon and Vegetables:
Fold the parchment paper around the salmon and vegetables to create a secure packet. Then, wrap the parchment packet in a layer of aluminum foil to ensure no steam escapes during cooking. -
Grill the Salmon:
Preheat the BBQ to a medium heat of around 180°C (350°F). Place the foil packet on the grill, making sure it’s positioned on the side of the grill without direct heat. Close the lid of the BBQ and let the salmon cook for at least 1.5 hours. This slow cooking process will allow the salmon to become tender and flavorful. -
Serve:
Once the salmon is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender, carefully open the foil packet. Serve the salmon fillet with the roasted vegetables immediately, allowing the vibrant flavors of the mustard marinade and grilled vegetables to shine. Enjoy this delicious and healthy BBQ salmon fillet with family and friends!
Tips:
- You can adjust the seasoning to your preference by adding garlic powder, herbs, or other spices to the mustard marinade.
- For an added crunch, sprinkle some toasted breadcrumbs on top of the salmon before grilling.
- If you don’t have a BBQ, this recipe can be easily adapted for the oven by baking the foil packet at 180°C for the same amount of time.
