I really like to grill fish – it makes for a quick dinner. Here’s an easy recipe for grilled salmon filet. Adding in dill and lemon flavors will help to complement the taste of the salmon. Serve this with a grilled vegetable – asparagus or Brussels sprouts and a side salad!
Servings: 4
Size: ¼ of grilled salmon filet
Points Plus: 8pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8-12 minutes
Rating: 4 stars – Very good
Ingredient List:
1 ½ lb. salmon fillet
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt
Pepper
2 Tbsp. dried dill
2 lemons
Directions:
Use heavy-duty aluminum foil and make a foil packet to grill your fish in. To prepare your fish for grilling, start by brushing the olive oil over the salmon filet. Next, sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper followed by dill. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half over the top of the seasoned salmon filet. This will help to cut down on any sort of fishy taste once your salmon is fully cooked. Spray the bottom of the aluminum foil packet with cooking spray (PAM even makes a specific grilling variety). Place the seasoned side down first in the foil packet, and skin side up. This ensures you that you have a nicely grilled top of the fillet. Cook on the grill for about 4-6 minutes before flipping the filet over to cook the other side for an additional 4-6 minutes. While your fish is on the grill, slice up the remaining lemon into wedges to serve with your meal.
Tip:
Make sure you ask for a salmon fillet vs. steaks. A filet is a long piece while salmon steaks are smaller cross-section pieces. A filet allows you to serve larger or smaller pieces based on your guest’s preference. The pp value above assumes you serve equal sized portions of the filet.
