LEMON PEPPER GRILLED SALMON
I tasted this at one of the taste-test booths in Costco when I lived in California. They were promoting their frozen salmon fillets - which are the only frozen fish I have even tasted that I enjoyed (thaw first). This is a really simple, yet tasty recipe for nights when you are too lazy or tired to do much else. You may certainly use fresh salmon, which is what I usually do. The type of salmon fillets you want are the ones cut from the side of the fish into thick strips (as opposed to the horseshoe-shaped type).

Steps:
- Make a paste of the lemon pepper salt, olive oil, and garlic.
- Rub some of the paste onto each salmon piece, as much or as little as you prefer to taste.
- Cover and chill 20 minutes (don't let sit too long or the salt will start to cook the fish).
- Grill (medium heat) or broil (high) until salmon is cooked through to your liking- it should be just starting to flake and it should look like milk is starting to seep out of the fish.
- The time will vary,especially if you use an outdoor grill, but roughly 7-12 minutes or so is a good guess.
- Garnish with a bit of fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side to squirt on each piece as desired.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon for its superior flavor and nutritional value. Look for fillets that are firm, have bright flesh, and minimal pin bones.
- Prepare the Salmon: Remove any pin bones using tweezers or a fishbone remover. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper.
- Make the Lemon Pepper Seasoning: Combine lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried oregano in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Grill the Salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the grilled salmon to a platter or individual plates. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, grilled asparagus, or a simple salad.
