THE ONLY GRILLED SALMON RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED

Steps:

• Brush your grill with a wire brush to remove any food particles, and coat or spray the grill with cooking oil. Preheat the grill to medium-high (400 to 450 degrees F).
• Mix together the seasoning and salt in a small bowl until well-combined. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and use your hands to gently coat the full surface of the flesh. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the fish. NOTE: If you're performing this step ahead of time, store salmon in a seal-able container or plastic bag in the refrigerator until you're ready to grill.
• Place the salmon fillet on the grill skin side down (I put it over the hottest part of the grill) and cover. Cook for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the skin is super crispy and fish is opaque. Carefully flip and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until salmon reaches desired done-ness. For rare-in-the-center salmon, cook about 2 minutes per side. Adjust the grill time up for salmon fillets that are thicker than 1 inch.
• Transfer salmon to a serving platter and serve with grilled zucchini salsa!
• Grill the zucchini and yellow squash while you're grilling the fish. To do so, cut the zucchini into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick rounds, lightly coat with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place zucchini on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook on the other side until grill marks appear, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and chop when cool enough to handle.
• Transfer the chopped grilled zucchini and yellow squash to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients for the salsa and toss until well-combined.

GRILLED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium (about 375 degrees F). Line a rimmed baking sheet (large enough to hold your piece of salmon) with a large piece of aluminum foil. If you prefer your food not to touch the foil directly, lay a piece of parchment paper on top (be sure none of it pokes out when the packet is sealed).
• Lightly coat the foil with baking spray. Then, arrange a few sprigs of dill down the middle. Cut the lemons into thin slices and arrange half of the slices down the middle with the dill. Place the salmon on top.
• Drizzle the salmon with the melted butter. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Scatter the garlic over the top, then lay a few more springs of dill and the remaining lemon slices on top of the salmon. Chop a tablespoon or so of the remaining dill and reserve for serving.
• Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. If your piece of foil is not large enough, place a second piece on top and fold the edges under so that it forms a sealed packet. Leave a little room inside the foil for air to circulate.
• Carefully slide the wrapped salmon onto the grill. Close the grill and grill the salmon for 14-18 minutes, until the salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part. The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your salmon side. If your piece is thinner (around 1-inch thick) check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick (1 1/2 inches or more), it may need longer.
• Open the grill, and carefully open the foil so that the top of the fish is completely uncovered (be careful of hot steam). Close the grill, and continue grilling until the fish is cooked through completely, about 3 minutes more. Watch the salmon closely to make sure it doesn't overcook. Remove the salmon from the grill (I like to use the foil to lift it right back on top of the baking sheet). If it still appears a bit underdone, you can wrap the foil back over the top, and let it rest for a few minutes. Do not let it sit too long-salmon can progress from "not done" to "over done" very quickly. As soon as it flakes easily with a fork, it's ready.
• To serve, cut the salmon into portions. Remove the topmost sprigs of dill and discard. Sprinkle with freshly chopped dill and top with an extra squeeze of lemon as desired.
