Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon sliced into 2 filets
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 4 tablespoons chimichurri sauce click link for the recipe
Instructions
- Prepare the chimichurri sauce before grilling the salmon.
- Preheat a grill to 400°F (medium to medium high heat).
- Sprinkle the salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes over the salmon.
- Place the salmon on a piece of non-stick foil on the grill.
- Cover the grill and cook the salmon for 10 minutes per one inch of thickness of the salmon. Measure the thickness from the thickest part of the salmon.
- Remove from the grill and top each piece of salmon with 2 tablespoons chimichurri sauce.
Notes
- A cedar plank can be used for grilling the salmon, instead of foil. Always be sure to soak the cedar plank in water for at least an hour before grilling. This will prevent it from catching fire.
- The salmon can be cooked as one large piece of fish or sliced into two filets before grilling.
Salmon internal grilling temperatures:
110°F for rare 125°F for medium 145°F for well done
- 110°F for rare

- Remember that the internal temperature of the salmon will continue to rise in temperature after it's removed from the grill. Expect approximately a 10 degree increase after removing it from the heat source.
- This salmon recipe can be baked instead of grilled. Bake in a 400°F oven for 12-15 minutes. Top with the chimichurri sauce after it's cooked.
