directions

  • Preheat grill to medium.
  • Mash minced garlic and 3/4 t salt in a small bowl to form a paste, stir in oil.
  • Check the salmon for pin bones and remove if necessary. Measure out a piece of heavy-duty foil (or use a double layer of regular foil) large enough for the salmon fillet. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil and spread the garlic mixture over it. Sprinkle with 1/3 C basil. Overlap tomato slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining salt and the pepper.
  • Transfer the salmon on the foil to the grill. Grill until the fish flakes easily, 10-12 minutes. Use two large spatulas to slide the salmon from the foil to a serving platter.
  • Serve the salmon sprinkled with the remaining 1/4 C basil.

  1. Simply delicious! I used my oven to bake the salmon. :)
     
  2. This was sooo good. I prepared it in the oven on 400 degrees until it flaked with a fork, reduced the salt to maybe 1/4 t. total and used part fresh tomatoes and part sun dried tomatoes (not oil packed) as I didn't have enough fresh tomatoes. I also did not have enough basil for the final garnish. <br/>The house smelled so good! We'll be having this again, we eat salmon weekly in our house.
