Simple Grilled Salmon

Salmon is a family favorite. It can be pricy so consider buying a large salmon (I prefer already descaled and deboned) and dividing it into just what you family eats for 1 meal. Salmon freezes and defrosts well.

Ingredients:
  • Large salmon fillet (~4 oz per person)
  • Lemon Pepper (~1 tbsp per lb)

  1. Place the descaled, deboned salmon fillet on a piece of tin foil. Sprinkle with lemon pepper. Fold the tin foil up around the edges so it forms a small "bubble" or "tent" around the fish.
  2. Heat your grill to medium heat. Cook the fish for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes when pulled at with a fork. After 15 minutes check every 1-2 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  3. Serve salmon with side of whole wheat bread and non-starchy vegetables. Yum!
