Grilled Kokanee Salmon

Grilled Kokanee Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 Kokanee salmon fillets

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Lemon wedges for garnish

• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade for the salmon.

Step 2: Marinate the Salmon Place the Kokanee salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each fillet is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. You can also marinate the salmon for up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.

Step 3: Preheat the Grill While the salmon is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Grill the Salmon Remove the salmon from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Place the fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon is done when it easily flakes with a fork and has a slightly charred appearance.

Step 5: Serve Carefully transfer the grilled Kokanee salmon fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and freshly chopped parsley. This salmon pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Step 6: Enjoy Serve your delicious Grilled Kokanee Salmon hot and enjoy a fantastic meal!

Remember that you can adjust the seasonings and cooking time to suit your taste and the thickness of your salmon fillets. Enjoy your meal!
