Mediterranean Grilled Salmon
Grilled salmon topped with homemade basil pesto, crumbled feta cheese, red onion, and tomatoes! To be completely honest, the only thing wild-caught salmon needs is a little EVOO, salt, and pepper, but if you're looking for something extra-special you've gotta try this salmon, it's one of my all-time favorite ways to cook it!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 (1/2 fish) salmon fillet pin bones removed, skin on
- 1/2 c. basil pesto see note below
- 1/2 c. feta cheese
- 1/2 sm. red onion chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 pint grape tomatoes sliced in half or 2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high.
- Lay the salmon fillet on a heavy-duty piece of foil. Spread pesto over the top. Sprinkle with feta cheese, red onions, and tomatoes.
- Fold the edges of the foil around the fish creating a fish pan. Place the fish on the grill, close the cover and cook for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your fish. Fish will be slightly firm to the touch and flake easily with a fork. Do not overcook!
Notes
To cook indoors: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your fish. Fish will be slightly firm to the touch and flake easily with a fork. Do not overcook!
