Many
people prefer salmon to other fish because they are used to it. They
recognize its signature pink color and they are familiar with the taste.
Salmon is a fairly inexpensive fish that can be prepared many ways.
The simplest way to prepare salmon is by using a grill. You can use
a countertop grill or your backyard barbeque grill. It is best to cook
the salmon in foil, so that the flaky goodness does not get lost between
the grates of your grill. You can drop some simple herbs on the fish,
such as rosemary, thyme and basil. A lemon slice or a few pats of butter
will complement the fish while adding a little cooking moisture to the
packet. Wrap up your salmon and grill for eight to ten minutes, depending
on the thickness of the fillet.
Your simple grilled salmon will turn even ordinary weeknight dinners
into a great event. Grilling salmon is simple enough for a quiet evening
at home and graceful enough for entertaining guests.
