Method

For Grilled Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Optionally, add chopped fresh dill.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  4. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the marinated salmon fillet on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Optionally garnish with fresh dill before serving.

For Cartoccio Style Salmon

  1. 6

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the garlic by mincing it and slicing the lemon.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Cartoccio

    Lay the aluminum foil sheet on a baking tray. Place the salmon fillet in the center, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 8

    Add Vegetables

    Top the salmon with lemon slices, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic. Optionally, add fresh basil on top.

  4. 9

    Seal the Foil

    Fold the aluminum foil over the salmon and vegetables, sealing it tightly to create a packet.

  5. 10

    Bake

    Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 11

    Serve

    Carefully open the foil packet (watch for steam), and serve the salmon directly from the foil or transfer to a plate.
