Lemon Pepper Grilled Salmon


I tasted this at one of the taste-test booths in costco when i lived in california. They were promoting their frozen salmon fillets - which are the only frozen fish i have even tasted that i enjoyed (thaw first). This is a really simple, yet tasty recipe for nights when you are too lazy or tired to do much else. You may certainly use fresh salmon, which is what i usually do. The type of salmon fillets you want are the ones cut from the side of the fish into thick strips (as opposed to the horseshoe-shaped type).

Steps


Make a paste of the lemon pepper salt , olive oil , and garlic.
Rub some of the paste onto each salmon piece , as much or as little as you prefer to taste.
Cover and chill 20 minutes.
Grill or broil until salmon is cooked through to your liking- it should be just starting to flake and it should look like milk is starting to seep out of the fish.
The time will vary , especially if you use an outdoor grill , but roughly 7-12 minutes or so is a good guess.
Garnish with a bit of fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side to squirt on each piece as desired.
