Ingredients
- 2.75 Pound – Salmon Fillet (estimate 1/3# per adult and a little for the kids)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Old Bay Seasoning
- Morton’s Nature Seasoning
- Two Each – Lemons
Preparation
- Inspect the salmon with a knife’s edge. Remove any bones that are discovered. Most of the time there will be none.
- The salmon fillet may have the outer skin attached. If so, do not remove it, place it against the foil, it will separate during the cooking process.
- Double a section of Heavy Duty foil wrapping paper.
- Coat it with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and place the fillet on the foil.
- Fold the edges in to create a 1/4″ rim around the foil. Refold it to create a more rigid edge.
- Apply a thin layer of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the top side of the fillet.
- Season and top of the fillet.
- Add very thin slices of lemon. (Save one lemon for the juice to be used at the table)
- Transport it to the grille on a flat surface like an inverted cookie sheet.
- Grille covered in your charcoal or gas grill at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes. Salmon is done when it becomes flakey to the touch of a fork. Note: Do not allow the lower edge to burn.
- Slice with a very sharp knife and serve.

Serves eight adults. Some children like it. Some don’t. Don’t hesitate to throw a few chicken breasts or chicken legs on the grill at the same time. Remember the chicken will take about twice as long to cook as the fish.
