This is best with very fresh, wild salmon. It's a spring-time tradition here in Olympia.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb fresh salmon
2 tablespoons butter
garlic, to taste
salt, to taste
onion, to taste

Directions

1
Fire up your grill.
2
Lay salmon on tin foil (enough foil to completely wrap fillet) Melt butter and pour it all over the salmon (alternatively, you can just cut it up but melting it will help it saturate the fish) Apply salt, garlic and onion to taste.
3
Seal the salmon in the foil.
4
Grill for about 15 minutes (depending on how hot your grill is), rotating after about 7 minutes.
5
Enjoy!
6
Serve with salad, bread, wine, beer, good music, whatever.

I WILL revisit this recipe for the cooking technique. However, I thought the onion and butter (way too rich) overwhelmed the flavor of the salmon. It was PERFECTLY cooked on the grill. Will try again with no onion or butter and just some light seasonings. Cooking technique PERFECTION; I used heavy duty foil so no burnt or sticking problems.

Wow. I have never enjoyed salmon, probably because a lot of restaurants use a sweet glaze. Incorperating the suggestions from other reviewers, I seasoned the salmon with dill weed, lemon juice, fresh cracked pepper, and kosher salt. I placed thinly sliced onion and garlic on the botton of the foil pouch, with a thin slice of butter on top. Next, I placed the seasoned salmon, followed by a thin slice of butter, more onions and garlic. Topped it with a little more salt, pepper, and lemon juice... made the foil pouch, the grilled. Oh my!!! Amazing!! Thank you so much for this very versitile recipe!!

almost the same recipe i have used for years. i add lawry's salt. i also double wrap the salmon in aluminum foil and that keeps the fish from sticking and burning to one layer of foil. in fact, going to start the bbq now !!!!
