Try to purchase salmon fillets that are 1 to 1¼ inches thick so they cook in the time indicated. If your fillets are thinner or thicker, or if you prefer your salmon medium-rare or medium-well, reduce or increase the cooking time by a minute or so. To accompany the salmon, thin slices of fresh, crisp fennel and tender herbs are dressed in a miso-seasoned dressing.

Question about foil wrapped salmon filet
I’m making this for 8 so I am wondering if I can put the foil,packets on my gas grill on high heat Instead of cast iron pan? Thank you

Seasoning, just wondering if you could add garlic, lemon or pepper to the fish to add flavor.
Dinner tonight!

I just made this for dinner. It was easy to make and very good. I got coho salmon 1 inch. I cooked it for 5 min then took it off for 5 min. When I opened it, it was still not cooked. I got the pan hot again and put it back for an additional 3-4 min. It came out great. I definitely going to make this salmon again.

If you have skin on are you searing the skin side?

Hi Jessica -

The salmon is marinated skin side up and then added to the foil skin side down. The foil-wrapped salmon is then added to the pan skin-side down.

Best,

I received a set of great marinades for Christmas so I use that as my marinade but love this cooking method! I find 6 minutes is the perfect cook time. I used the BBQ cut salmon from Trader Joe’s.

The salmon was fine (really good but nothing special). Although I did enjoy not having to clean a pan. But the fennel salad was the star of the meal. So delicious!
