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

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Tips

You can also bake these in a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 15 to 25 minutes. Time depends on fillet thickness.
