Ingredients

  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced, plus 1 lemon cut into wedges for garnish
  • 20-30 sprigs mixed fresh herbs plus 2 tablespoons chopped, divided
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 pound center-cut salmon, skinned (see Tip)

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

2. Lay two 9-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil on top of each other and place on a rimless baking sheet. Arrange lemon slices in two layers in the center of the foil. Spread herb sprigs over the lemons. With the side of a chef's knife, mash garlic with salt to form a paste. Transfer to a small dish and stir in mustard and the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped herbs. Spread the mixture over both sides of the salmon. Place the salmon on the herb sprigs.

3. Slide the foil and salmon off the baking sheet onto the grill without disturbing the salmon-lemon stack. Cover the grill; cook until the salmon is opaque in the center, 18 to 24 minutes. Wearing oven mitts, carefully transfer foil and salmon back onto the baking sheet. Cut the salmon into 4 portions and serve with lemon wedges (discard herb sprigs and lemon slices).

Tip: How to skin a salmon fillet: Place salmon fillet on a clean cutting board, skin-side down. Starting at the tail end, slip the blade of a long knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.

Delicious & Beautiful

This is the first time I have ever cooked salmon & we fixed this recipe on Fathers Day,using fresh sockeye fillets. I used fresh thyme, basil & parsley as these were what was fresh in the market. Other than adding about a teaspoon of olive oil to the paste you rub the fish with, I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly, both taste & appearance. I would definitely do this again!

What herb sprigs are we talking about here?

Got any ideas? Might be a better recipe if you gave some specifics when it comes to herbs.

    Salmon cooks over a bed of lemon and fresh herbs to infuse it with flavor and keep the fish tender and moist. We like a blend of thyme, tarragon and oregano, but any of your favorite herbs will work. Make it a Meal: Serve with grilled new potatoes tossed in an herb vinaigrette and steamed green beans.
