Grilled Salmon with Tomatoes & Basil
Salmon has vitamin D, a nutrient that triggers the
body’s immune cells that kill invading bacteria and viruses. Cook with tomatoes
and basil in this easy recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 whole wild salmon fillet (also called a “side of salmon,” about 1 1/2 pounds; see Tips)
- 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil, divided
- 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Directions
Instructions Checklist
- Step 1
Preheat
grill to medium.
- Step 2
Mash
minced garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt on a cutting board with the side of a
chef's knife or a spoon until a paste forms. Transfer to a small bowl and stir
in oil.
- Step 3
Check
the salmon for pin bones and remove if necessary (see Tips). 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 all over it. Sprinkle
with 1/3 cup basil. Overlap tomato slices on top and sprinkle with the
remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Step 4
Transfer
the salmon on the foil to the grill. Grill until the fish flakes easily, 10 to
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 cup basil.
