SCOTT'S GRILLED SALMON
This is my favorite salmon recipe that I put together in college. This can be done on the grill or in the oven. By pairing salmon with rich/tangy lemon, rosemary and garlic sauce, this is a great summertime meal. Serve with grilled/baked veggies (I prefer broccoli, Brussels sprouts or green beans). Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a deep orange color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a pale color.
- Season the salmon fillet generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Be sure to rub the seasoning into the flesh of the salmon so that it penetrates all the way through.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help to sear the salmon and prevent it from sticking to the grates.
- Grill the salmon fillet for 10-12 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the salmon fillet immediately with your favorite sides. Grilled salmon pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can grill a perfect salmon fillet every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled salmon a try. You won't be disappointed!
