This is the usual stand-by way I prepare salmon for the
BBQ. It’s easy and delicious. Cooking on aluminum foil makes for an easy
clean up. You can also broil the salmon
on the foil on a cookie sheet in the oven.
I like to serve this with Couscous
Pilaf with Vegetables.
Serves 6
6 tablespoons butter
2 cloves minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of an assortment of chopped fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley, dill, mint)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
juice of one lemon
6 pieces of Salmon
In a small saucepan, add all of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes and remove from heat. Allow to cool.
Wash and dry salmon. Cut a piece of foil larger than your salmon piece and crimp along all of the edges forming a pan. Place the salmon skin side down on foil and lightly salt and pepper. Drizzle the lemon butter mixture over salmon and BBQ until cooked. Don’t worry that the bottom of the salmon looks burnt.
To serve, take a spatula and loosen salmon from skin and serve. The skin stays on the foil and you can just throw it all away and have no clean up!
