Easy Grilled Salmon Pasta Recipes

SIMPLE GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Prepare the grill. If you have a gas grill, turn it to high heat. If you have a charcoal grill, set it up for partial direct high heat.
• When the grill is hot, clean the grates and wipe with cooking oil to prevent the fish from sticking.
• Prepare the salmon by drizzling olive oil on each filet.
• Add the salt, pepper and garlic. Squeeze lemon over each filet.
• Start with the skin side up (flesh side down) and sear on direct high heat for 1-2 minutes.
• Use a spatula to turn the fish and place over indirect medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
• Cook until the fish reaches 145 degrees F in the thickest part of the filet. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
