Grilled Salmon Fillet with Fresh Herbs

Fresh salmon with fresh herbs and lemon—a stellar combination. If you prefer your fish with sauce, this entrĆ©e is also great topped with Pineapple-Kiwi Salsa (page 270).

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 3 ounces fish per serving

Ingredients

Olive oil spray
1 1-pound 4-ounce salmon fillet with skin (tail end preferred), rinsed
1 medium lemon, halved crosswise, divided use
1Ā 1/2 teaspoons snipped fresh dillweed or 1/2 teaspoon dried, crumbled
12 sprigs of fresh thyme, divided use

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Generously spray the grill rack with olive oil spray. Preheat the grill on medium high.

    Step 2

    Place the fish with the skin side down on a large plate. Squeeze the juice from one lemon half over the fish. Sprinkle with the dillweed. Using your fingertips, gently press the dillweed so it adheres to the fish.

    Step 3

    Thinly slice the remaining lemon half. Lay the slices on the fish. Top with 8 sprigs of thyme.

    Step 4

    Grill the fish with the skin side down for 20 minutes, or to the desired doneness. Serve the fish garnished with the remaining 4 sprigs of thyme.
