Annes Fabulous Grilled Salmon
We make this king salmon recipe at Saint Matthew's parish picnic every year in Seattle, Washington. It is easy to prep the marinade and Anne's fabulous grilled salmon cooks perfectly in foil on the grill for easy clean-up!
Ingredients
-
⅓ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
-
2 tablespoons honey
-
1 lemon, juiced
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
-
1 (3 pound) salmon fillet, with skin
Description
- Double up layers of aluminum foil to make a "pan" large enough to hold salmon fillet; place onto a baking sheet. Arrange fillet, skin-side down, in foil "pan."
- Whisk basil, honey, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, shallots, Worcestershire sauce, and ginger together in a small bowl until combined; pour over salmon fillet and marinate for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat.
- Slide the foil pan holding salmon fillet off the baking sheet onto the preheated grill. Grill, covered, until salmon flakes easily with a fork, but not too dry, 10 minutes per inch of thickness, about 20 minutes. Slice fillet, using a spatula to scoop fillet off the skin. The skin will stick to the foil and your grill will remain clean.
