PrintGrilled Wild Alaska Salmon with Basil Butter Rub
Serves 4
- 4 wild Alaska salmon fillets, 6 ounces each
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 teaspoons butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons basil, chopped
Preheat grill. Season salmon with salt, pepper, and garlic. Mix butter with basil and rub over salmon skin.
Make a shallow foil bowl, dull side up, by folding heavy-duty foil in two then up on all four sides to be sure salmon will cook in its juices.
Place salmon in foil, skin side down. Cook on medium-hot covered grill for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Turning is not necessary. Salmon is done when it turns a light pink color throughout.
