GRILLED LEMON-GARLIC SALMON
A lot of people fish here on the shore of Lake Michigan, so I've developed quite a few recipes for it, including this grilled salmon recipe. I love it, and so do my friends and family. When it's out of season, I look for wild-caught fresh Alaskan salmon at the grocery store. -Diane Nemitz, Ludington, Michigan

CEDAR PLANK-GRILLED SALMON WITH GARLIC, LEMON AND DILL
Steps:
- Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.
- When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.
- Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium heat. Whisk 1 Tbsp. honey, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest in a small bowl to combine. Add 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, and 2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill and whisk again to combine (some lemon zest may remain separate and that's okay).
- Tear off a large piece of foil according to the length and thickness of salmon (15x15" or larger) and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place one 1 lb. boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on, arranging skin side down if skin is on, in center of foil (the skin will stick slightly to foil and brown while the fish cooks; you want this as it will add to the sauce). Spread garlic butter over fish, then drizzle 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice on top. Carefully fold one side of foil up and over fish so lemon juice stays contained, then bring other sides up to meet it and fold together to seal, leaving about a 4" opening on top for steam to escape (this will help sauce reduce a bit).
- Place foil packet on grate and grill fish until opaque throughout and firm, 16-20 minutes. Transfer packet to a cutting board and let fish rest 5 minutes.
- Carefully open foil packet and cut fish in half. Transfer to plates; pour juices from packet over. Drizzle fish with remaining 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, dividing evenly, and top with more finely chopped dill.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is about 1-inch thick and has a deep pink color. Avoid fillets that are too thin or have a pale color, as they will be more likely to overcook.
- Season the salmon well. Before grilling, season the salmon with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- 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.
- Grill the salmon for 8-10 minutes per side. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon fillet. Cook the salmon until it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
- Let the salmon rest before serving. Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the salmon to retain its juices and prevent it from becoming dry.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon with garlic lemon is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the garlic lemon sauce adds a bright and flavorful touch. This recipe is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknights. Whether you are a seasoned griller or a beginner, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
