LEMON PEPPER GRILLED SALMON
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).

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 freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull or slimy.
- Use a good quality lemon pepper seasoning. A good quality seasoning will have a strong flavor and will not be too salty.
- Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to penetrate the fish and make it more flavorful.
- Grill the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and drying out.
- Cook the salmon until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Lemon pepper salmon is delicious served with roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
Conclusion:
Lemon pepper grilled salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salmon mild or spicy, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give lemon pepper grilled salmon a try.
