Anleitung

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil and brush the center of each with olive oil.

Drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Top each fillet with 2-3 lemon slices, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of dill and parsley.
-
Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, then fold the top and bottom to create a sealed packet.
-
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and close the lid.
-
Grill for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
-
Open the packets (be cautious of hot steam) and transfer the salmon to serving plates.
-
Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
Chefnotizen
- For a crispier top, open the foil packets for the last 2-3 minutes of grilling.
- You can prepare the foil packets up to 4 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to grill.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon each of dried dill and parsley instead.
- This recipe also works well in the oven at 400°F for 15-18 minutes.
- For a flavor variation, try adding thinly sliced red onions or cherry tomatoes to the packets.
