Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs salmon filets skin on or skin off
- 1 small bunch of fresh dill
- 1 lemon sliced
- 2 Tbsp butter melted
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Let your salmon sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes and preheat your grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
- Get a large piece of heavy duty foil and spray the foil with a non-stick cooking spray. Place half of the dill in lemon slices on the bottom of the foil and place the salmon filets on top.
- Then drizzle the melted butter on top of the salmon filets and top with more lemon slices and fresh dill. Then season the top of the filets with the minced garlic, salt and pepper.
- Wrap the foil around the salmon filets and seal it. Make sure it's fully enclosed.
- Place the foil packet directly on the grill grates. Cover the grill and cook for 14-18 minutes.
- Then carefully unwrap the salmon so the top of the salmon is exposed. Cover the grill again and cook for 3-5 minutes until the top of the color is a darker pink color. Make sure that the salmon has a safe internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill and then the salmon is ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- *I used an instant read meat thermometer to make sure that the salmon was cooked to a safe internal temperature.
- *When the salmon cooks in the foil packet, it remains a light pink color so this is why we unwrap the foil packet and allow it to cook with the salmon exposed.
- *The salmon is best served immediately as leftover salmon dries out. You can refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
