Simple grilled salmon

Preparation time: 2 minutes
Cooking time: approximately 12 minutes (cooking time may be increased or decreased depending on the fillet's thickness)

 

1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 (4-ounce) salmon fillet
Pinch of salt
Pinch of lemon pepper
Wedge of lemon

Preheat grill to medium heat. Rub olive oil over salmon, coating evenly. Sprinkle with salt and lemon pepper. Grill salmon over medium heat about 6 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily when pierced with a fork (for ease in turning salmon, a grill basket coated with cooking spray or a wide metal spatula can be used). Remove any skin. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Yield: 1 serving
