Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat grill. Season salmon w/salt, pepper & garlic. Mix butter w/basil & rub over salmon skin.
2. Make a shallow foil bowl, dull side up, by folding heavy duty foil in two, then up on all 4 sides to be sure salmon will cook in its juices.
3. Place salmon in foil, skin side down. (Line the foil with parchment paper if you prefer.) Cook on a medium-hot covered grill for approximately 10 min, per inch of thickness. Turning is not necessary. Salmon is done when it shows a light pink color throughout.
