Salmon and dill have been a culinary pair for so long that it's time to introduce the fish to another herb just as complementary -- basil. This slow one-sided cooking method is the easiest and most consistent when grilling fish.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets with skin (1 lb/500 g)
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil
- 2 tsp (10 mL) lemon juice
- 2 tsp (10 mL) Dijon mustard
- 2 cIoves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh basil
Steps
- Arrange salmon fillets, skin side down, in single layer in shallow glass dish. Set dish aside.
- In small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and garlic; stir in basil. Spread over salmon. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Place salmon, skin side down, on greased grill over low heat; cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily when tested with fork.
