Grilled Salmon in Foil + Video
Description
The recipe starts with a boneless salmon filet seasoned with fine sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Fresh dill sprigs and thin lemon slices are arranged on both sides of the salmon, with tablespoons of butter added on top to enhance moisture and flavor during cooking. The ingredients are wrapped in a foil package sealed carefully to trap steam.
Grilling this foil packet over medium-high heat (about 425°F) for around 16 minutes cooks the salmon gently, keeping it tender and ensuring an internal temperature of 145°F. This method preserves moisture and concentrates the herbal and citrus notes.
This salmon pairs well with steamed rice or vegetables, serving as a light and flavorful main course. The foil wrap keeps cleanup easy and allows precise cooking control. Leaving the skin on is optional but helps keep the filet intact and adds texture for those who enjoy it.
The recipe notes suggest leaving the skin on for presentation and texture, and mention the nutritional information is based on a 6-ounce serving.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb salmon filet boneless
- 1/2 cup dill 1 small bunch, fresh
- 2 lemon sliced, plural
- 1/2 tsp salt fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper fresh cracked
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to 425°F. Rinse the salmon with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Feel for any pin bones and remove if you feel any.
- Place a large piece of foil (enough to fold over the salmon) that has been coated with oil or cooking spray on the countertop.
- Lay 4 lemon slices on top, then a few dill sprigs and then the salmon. Season with salt and pepper, then top with 4 more lemon slices, sprigs of dill and the 2 tablespoons of butter. Season again with salt and pepper.
- Fold the bottom piece of foil up and over the salmon. Fold the top foil down and over the salmon. Fold each side towards the center twice and press together to create a package. Transfer to baking sheet to grill.
- Place salmon package on hot grill (not with baking sheet), cover and grill for 16 minutes. The internal temperature should be 145°F when thermometer is inserted into thickest part of salmon.
- Serve with fresh lemon slices, dill sprig and steamed rice or vegetables.
Notes
- Keep the skin on the salmon filet to maintain its shape and add texture.
- Check that all pin bones are removed before cooking for easier eating.
- Internal temperature should reach 145°F for safe doneness.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a balanced meal.
