Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
- ½ cup of olive oil
- ¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pounds salmon
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Let salmon stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, dill, salt and pepper (to taste).
- Coat foil lightly with cooking spray and place salmon inside. Spoon oil mixture over the salmon and fold up the aluminum to seal.
- Leave the salmon inside the closed grill for 14-18 minutes (depending on the salmon’s thickness). Open the top of the packet, grill for another 3 minutes or until done.
- Cut into pieces and garnish with some fresh dill.
Quick tip: Check the doneness of your salmon by peeking into the thickest part with a knife. If the outside is starting to flake but the middle is slightly translucent, it's ready to go.
