(Heads up! I’ve included instructions for using both a grill and your oven.)
Tomato-Basil Grilled Wild Salmon
(serves 4)
● 2 cloves garlic, minced
● 1 tsp sea salt, divided
● 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
● 1 whole wild salmon fillet (about 1½ lbs)
● ⅓ cup plus ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil, divided
● 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
● ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
Preheat your grill to medium. (If using an oven, preheat to 425ºF).
Mash the minced garlic and half the salt on a cutting board to form a paste. Place in a small bowl and stir in the olive oil.
Lay out a large piece of foil, and coat with cooking spray.
Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil, and spread the garlic mixture evenly over the fish. Sprinkle with ⅓ cup of basil. Arrange the tomato slices on top, and season with the remaining salt and pepper.
Place the salmon on the grill or in the oven. Grill for 10-12 minutes (or bake in the oven for about 20 minutes), until the fish easily flakes.
When done, put the salmon on a serving platter and garnish with the remaining basil.
