Ingredients
Ingredients List:
- 1 lb Columbia River Steelhead Salmon
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced into wheels, or to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped herbs of choice – we used dill and parsley
- 1 tbsp minced garlic or to taste
- 3 tbsp Kerrygold Butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Preheat the Grill Heat the grill to medium heat, approximately 400–450°F.
- Prep the Salmon Place the salmon fillet(s), skin side down, on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil. Arrange sliced lemons, chopped fresh herbs, minced garlic, and small pats of butter evenly over the top. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook and Serve! Fold the aluminum foil over the salmon to create a sealed tent, fully enclosing the fish. Place the foil packet directly on the preheated grill. Cook for 12–16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet, until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the grill and allow the packet to rest for 5 minutes. Carefully open the foil, flake the salmon with a fork, and serve.
