Description:
Indulge in the succulent flavors of grilled salmon with this simple and delightful recipe. Perfect for a quick and healthy meal, this dish bursts with savory goodness.
Ingredients:
- Salmon (1 pound)
- Unsalted butter
- Dried parsley
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to a low temperature, ensuring that it’s ready for cooking.
-
Prep the Tin Foil: Take a piece of tin foil, approximately double the size of the salmon, and lay it flat on a clean surface.
-
Place the Salmon: Lay the salmon on the tin foil, with the skin side facing down.
-
Add Butter: Dot the salmon with unsalted butter, distributing it evenly over the fish.
-
Sprinkle Parsley: Sprinkle dried parsley generously over the salmon, adding flavor and visual appeal.
-
Fold the Foil: Fold the tin foil over the salmon, starting with the long sides first. Ensure there’s a straight edge with about a 1/2-inch overlap at the center top.
-
Secure the Ends: Roll up the short sides of the tin foil to seal the packet securely. This helps retain moisture and flavor while allowing air to escape, effectively turning the foil into a miniature oven.
-
Grill the Salmon: Place the wrapped salmon on the grill over very low flames. Cook for approximately 22-25 minutes per pound of salmon. Keep an eye on the grill to maintain the desired temperature and avoid overcooking.
-
Check for Doneness: After the appropriate cooking time has elapsed, carefully remove the wrapped salmon from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
-
Unwrap and Serve: Gently unwrap the foil packet, being cautious of any escaping steam. The salmon skin may stick to the foil, so use a spatula to lift the fillet onto individual plates, leaving the skin behind. Discard the foil.
-
Enjoy: Serve your perfectly grilled salmon hot and fresh from the grill. Pair it with your favorite sides or enjoy it as is for a delightful and nutritious meal.
