Notes

  • Cook salmon on the grill: Place fish, skin side down, in a disposable grill foil pan, and brush with the marinade. Transfer to the grill, cover the lid, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Cook salmon in skillet: Season the salmon as per recipe. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Cook the salmon, skin side up, without moving, until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking until done to your liking, 4 to 5 minutes more. Serve!
