Ingredients

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

Directions

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.

Serving size: 1 fillet.
