Grilled Salmon

Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time30 minutes mins
Total Time35 minutes mins
Servings: 4
Author: Toni Anderson

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 6 tablespoons light olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 6 ounce fillets salmon

Instructions

  • Mix ingredients together (minus the salmon) to create a marinade.
  • You can remove the skin from the salmon or leave it, but I’ve heard it has less of a fishy taste without the skin.
  • Coat salmon and marinate for at least an hour, turning the salmon once.
  • Wrap in foil and grill the salmon for 25 minutes.
  • It is done when it flakes with a fork.

    We love grilled salmon. Funny story… one family vacation about 8 years ago we went to Washington State and British Columbia. My husband was on the hunt for the best salmon he could find so every time we’d go out, he’d order it. He never found any that tasted better than what he makes on the grill. 🙂

      About 25 minutes. I am making it tomorrow, so I will time it and update the recipe then.
      Thanks for asking!

    Grilled salmon always sounds good I just never know how to make it, thanks for posting this.

    And my favorite spice is a toss up between seasoning salt and hot sauce.

    Great salmon recipe. I made it with a Chile-Roasted Feta and Watermelon Slab http://cuceesprouts.com/2010/10/chile-roasted-feta-and-watermelon-slab/ and the watermelon side dish really played well against the rich fish!

    Can this be made on the broiler instead of a grill?

      Maybe you could bake it, not sure about broiling.

    What else is on the grill? And if those are potatoes, did you just slice them and put some seasoning on them then put them straight onto the grill?! If so, that would be SO wonderful to know you can do that!!! 🙂

    OMG 25 minutes was way overdone. How hot was your grill?
    Direct heat? Indirect heat?

      Medium. Lower rack. I do grill with the entire grill full of food so that might be the difference? It is also an older grill- so less heat? Not sure. I’ll have to try the recipe on my new grill and perhaps adjust the time.

    […] Grilled salmon, Orzo Salad with Goat Cheese, and grilled zucchini. Salmon was on special at the store, so I found this really simple recipe for grilling it. Nate ended up doing it on a grill skillet rather than in foil because the time in the recipe seemed way too long. I’m not sure how long it actually took, but Nate just took it off the grill when the fish started to flake. A friend shared some orzo salad from the grocery store counter with me the other day. It was so good I was determined to make something similar. And I found this Chicken-Orzo Salad with Goat Cheese recipe. I used spinach instead of arugula and left out the chicken, but it was so delicious and fresh tasting. Orzo is my new favorite pasta I think! Lastly the zucchini. I just cut it up fresh out of the garden, marinated it for a bit in some Italian marinade, and stuck it on skewers. Just don’t grill it too long or it gets soggy. I prefer mine a bit on the crunchy side! […]
