Yield: 

4 servings

Ingredients:

Instructions: 

1. Lightly season fillets (both sides, if skinless) with liquid smoke flavoring. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over salmon. Spray both sides with oil, lightly.

2. Mix (mash) garlic and butter together. Dab half of the butter mixture on top of the fillets.

3. Preheat grill on high for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Place salmon directly on grill grate, or, use a grill grid/plate for grilling delicate foods. (If using a grill grid/plate, pre-heat it with the grill.)

4. Grill with lid closed. Flip once during cooking, and apply the remaining garlic butter to the top of salmon after flipping.

Approximate grilling times for fish fillet:

1/2-1" thick     ~10 minutes Medium
1-1 1/4" thick   ~12-14 minutes Medium

Fish should flake apart inside when done.

Serve with fresh lemon slices (I like to squeeze more juice on the salmon as I eat it!).

Additional Notes: 

Joshua's favorite grilled salmon accompaniment is rice. He brings the salmon in, hot off the grill, and places it on a bed of rice. The delicious juices flavor the rice. Yummy and easy! :)

*We put ours in a spray bottle for easier application.

**Can substitute bottled lemon juice, although fresh is best. :)

Tammy's Review: 

This salmon is absolutely delicious. It's also super easy and healthy! I like a green salad and some cooked veggies on the side. My rating: 10/10
