Grilled salmon in foil

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat grill to 400ºF. Spray a large piece of tin foil with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare salmon filets by patting dry with a paper towel and seasoning with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Then, mix together softened butter, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Step 4

Spread the butter mixture on top of the salmon filets and transfer them onto the tin foil. Then, squeeze on lime juice.

Step 5

Create a foil pack by folding the top half of the tin foil over the salmon and pinching the sides together. Make sure there are no holes where air can escape.

Step 6

Grill salmon at 400ºF for 8-10 minutes* or until the internal temperature is 135ºF and flakey.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and open the foil pack to let the steam out. Let rest for 5 minutes before eating.

Step 8

In a medium-size bowl, mix together onion, cilantro, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, apple cider vinegar, and lime juice. Place in the refrigerator for later.

Step 9

Prepare pineapple by coring and slicing into strips. Season with 1/2 tablespoon of chili powder and about 1/8 teaspoon of salt.

Step 10

Grill pineapple at 400ºF over direct heat for 12-15 minutes, rotating every 5 minutes.

Step 11

Remove from heat, let cool, and then cut into small chunks.

Step 12

Add pineapple to the rest of the salsa ingredients and mix well.
