LEMON PEPPER GRILLED SALMON



Lemon Pepper Grilled Salmon image

I tasted this at one of the taste-test booths in Costco when I lived in California. They were promoting their frozen salmon fillets - which are the only frozen fish I have even tasted that I enjoyed (thaw first). This is a really simple, yet tasty recipe for nights when you are too lazy or tired to do much else. You may certainly use fresh salmon, which is what I usually do. The type of salmon fillets you want are the ones cut from the side of the fish into thick strips (as opposed to the horseshoe-shaped type).

Categories     Savory

Time 42m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup lemon-pepper seasoning, blend to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 -3 fresh garlic cloves, crushed
7 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, deboned, skinless
1 -2 lemon, cut into wedges
fresh parsley, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make a paste of the lemon pepper salt, olive oil, and garlic.
  • Rub some of the paste onto each salmon piece, as much or as little as you prefer to taste.
  • Cover and chill 20 minutes (don't let sit too long or the salt will start to cook the fish).
  • Grill (medium heat) or broil (high) until salmon is cooked through to your liking- it should be just starting to flake and it should look like milk is starting to seep out of the fish.
  • The time will vary,especially if you use an outdoor grill, but roughly 7-12 minutes or so is a good guess.
  • Garnish with a bit of fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side to squirt on each piece as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a moist, firm texture. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a dry, flaky texture.
  • Prepare the marinade: The marinade is what gives the salmon its delicious flavor. Be sure to mix it well and let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the salmon. This will help to prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Cook the salmon: Cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon: Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Grilled Dijon Lemon Pepper Salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
