Calories: 366kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds salmon skin on
- 4 tsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ - 1 tsp ground white pepper
- 1 tsp dried basil
Instructions
- To prepare the salmon for grilling, trim off the thinner parts. This will help the salmon cook more evenly. These thin pieces can either be cooked separately (for a shorter period of time) or set aside to use at another time as a salad topping. Cut the remaining thicker portion of salmon into 4 servings.
- Drizzle each portion of salmon (on the flesh side) with 1 teaspoon of avocado oil. Then sprinkle each portion with 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder, 1⁄8 to 1⁄4 teaspoon ground white pepper, and 1⁄4 teaspoon dried basil. Set aside. This can be put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour, giving time for the oil and seasonings to settle into the fish.
- Prepare the grill by heating the grill to medium heat, 300 to 350 degrees. Once the grill is heated, use a thick portion of paper towels or clean rag and generously rub the cooking grate with cooking oil.
- Place the salmon flesh side down (skin side up) and grill for 7 minutes. As the salmon cooks, it will pull away from the cooking grate. Carefully turn the salmon and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Notes
Storage :
Leftover grilled salmon should be stored in an airtight container, or wrapped tightly in tin foil and stored in the fridge. Properly stored salmon will last for 3 to 4 days.
