Prep Time:10 minutes

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Foil
  • Grill

Ingredients

  • 1 fillet Red salmon
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1 Lemon
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • Salt & pepper
  • Fresh herbs

Instructions

  • Lay out a large piece of foil and drizzle half of the oil in the center.
  • Place the salmon in the center of the foil and drizzle with remaining oil.
  • Place butter, cut into small pads, on top of salmon.
  • Set lemon slices all over top of salmon and butter.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Set fresh herbs of choice on top. Thyme is a favorite.
  • Carefully fold over sides of foil and roll together to create a sealed packet.
  • Grill at medium over direct heat for about 14 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the fillet and cook until it reaches at least 135 degrees F.
  • Remove packet from the grill and allow to sit, still sealed, for about 5 more minutes. The internal temperature should reach 140-145 degrees F.
  • Carefully unwrap the foil, remove lemons and herb stems, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in sealed container. Use within two days.
To make in the oven instead: Prepare the same but bake at 400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
