Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs salmon fillets, whole (about 1.5 lbs)
1/3 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced plus
1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium.
  • Mash minced garlic and 3/4 t salt in a small bowl to form a paste, stir in oil.
  • Check the salmon for pin bones and remove if necessary. Measure out a piece of heavy-duty foil (or use a double layer of regular foil) large enough for the salmon fillet. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil and spread the garlic mixture over it. Sprinkle with 1/3 C basil. Overlap tomato slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining salt and the pepper.
  • Transfer the salmon on the foil to the grill. Grill until the fish flakes easily, 10-12 minutes. Use two large spatulas to slide the salmon from the foil to a serving platter.
  • Serve the salmon sprinkled with the remaining 1/4 C basil.
