Steps:
- Make a pan out of aluminum foil by doubling up layers of foil large enough to hold your fillet. Place the foil onto a cookie sheet. Lay the fillet onto the foil with the skin side down. In a small bowl, stir together the oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, ginger, honey, basil and shallots. Pour over the salmon and let it marinate while you preheat the grill, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat a grill for medium-low heat. Slide the foil with the salmon off of the cookie sheet and onto the grill. Cover with the lid and grill the fillet for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, about 20 minutes. Salmon should be able to flake with a fork, but not be too dry. When you serve the salmon, the skin will stick to the foil and your grill will remain clean. Simply slice and use a spatula to scoop the fillet off of the skin to serve.

ALASKA SOCKEYE SALMON WITH HERBS AND GARLIC
Steps:
- Remove Alaska Sockeye salmon from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Heat grill to 375°F. Cut 2 pieces of wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil about 6-inches longer than the salmon side. Stack the foil pieces (shiny side down) on a baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray. Place the salmon, skin side down, in the middle of the foil. Fold the foil sides and ends up (1 to 2-inches) to make a shallow pan around the salmon, leaving at least a 1-inch margin around the fish. Season salmon with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the wine, butter, garlic and herbs. Spoon the mixture over the top of the salmon, drizzling with any remaining liquid. Carefully transfer the foil pan to the center of the preheated grill. Do not cover the salmon with foil or close the foil over the salmon. Close grill cover and cook for 10 to 13 minutes, cooking just until fish is lightly translucent in the center - it will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove from the grill and let rest a few minutes before serving.
- Roast in an oven preheated to 375°F, cooking 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly translucent in the center. Be sure to let the salmon rest a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for sockeye salmon that is wild-caught and sustainably sourced. The fish should be firm and have a bright red or orange color.
- Prepare the salmon: Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, or your favorite herbs and spices.
- Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot.
- Grill the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through. The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the salmon: Serve the grilled sockeye salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled lemon wedges, or a simple green salad.
Conclusion:
Grilling sockeye salmon is a quick and easy way to prepare this delicious and healthy fish. By following these tips, you can ensure that your grilled sockeye salmon is cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Enjoy!
