Lemon Pepper Grilled Salmon in Foil
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 2 (1 pound) fillets salmon fillets, cut in half
  • aluminum foil
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, or more to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your outdoor grill to a medium heat setting, ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking. Lightly brush the grill grate with oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
2
Mix together a blend of brown sugar, sea salt, lemon-pepper seasoning, and seasoned salt in a bowl. Combine these ingredients to create a unique flavor profile.
3
Coat the halved salmon fillets evenly with the seasoning mixture, making sure to cover all surfaces.
4
Place each halved salmon fillet on two to four individual pieces of aluminum foil, leaving some space between them. Drizzle a moderate amount of olive oil and liquid smoke over the salmon for added flavor.
5
Fold the top edges of the foil pieces together, but leave the sides open to allow for air circulation and even cooking.
6
Tent the foil packets with additional foil sheets, creating a secure enclosure that allows for heat circulation and helps to cook the salmon evenly.
7
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill, cooking them for 15 to 25 minutes or until the salmon is easily flaked with a fork. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, carefully lift the edges of the foil to allow for a light browning and caramelization.
8
Check on the salmon periodically during the cooking time, adjusting the heat as needed to achieve the desired level of doneness.
