Grilled Salmon in Foil
Grilled salmon in foil is so simple to make. It looks top-notch when served with a nice side of steamed asparagus or other vegetable. I live in Alaska and this recipe goes over great at our barbecues.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 (1 pound) fillets salmon fillets, cut in half
- aluminum foil
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, or more to taste
Directions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Mix brown sugar, sea salt, lemon-pepper seasoning, and seasoned salt together in a container. Coat halved salmon fillets with seasoning mixture. Place salmon on 2 to 4 aluminum foil sheets; drizzle with olive oil and liquid smoke. Fold the tops of pieces of foil together, leaving the sides open. Tent the foil for heat circulation.
- Place foil packets on the preheated grill and cook until salmon is easily flaked with a fork, 15 to 25 minutes, opening foil during the last 5 minutes to lightly brown.
