salt and pepper

lemon

garlic (optional),

thyme

Cut salmon in to 4 pieces and place in a bowl. Lightly coat with olive oil,  season with salt and pepper and zest from one lemon. Add the garlic and thyme, gently tossing to coat.

Cut the lemon in half and place on the grill, open side down.

Place salmon on the grill, skin-side down first, and grill 4-6 minutes, covering. The skin should release itself naturally from the grill. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes or until your desired &#8220;doneness&#8221;. Keep in mind thinker pieces may take longer, and thin pieces may take less time.

Serve salmon immediately or refrigerate for mid-week meals for up to 3 days.

Omg. That blackened salmon burger looks out-of-this-world. 🤤

Salmon salad with creamy lime cilantro dressing is amazing. The creaminess from the mayo balanced with the lime and cilantro was so perfect for the fresh veggies as well as the salmon. Even with mayo it’s light! Brought back some Copper River salmon from a recent trip to Northwest and all of these recipes looked amazing. Was hard to choose just one. Never disappointed by your recipes.
