A wonderfully light and flaky salmon, made easily on the barbecue! The rich flavours from the garlic, herbs and lemon infuse the salmon spits packed with flavour. I like to cut the pieces so they're narrow, meaning they cook evenly and quickly. Try these with a side salad, rice or potatoes. Enjoy!
BBQ Salmon topped with roasted garlic, herbs & lemon
I like to cook my salmon on the BBQ, but off direct heat. On a small grill, you'd have one half on about medium and cook the salmon on the other half. On a larger grill, I like to have the outer heat going and have the salmon cooking off the direct-heat in the middle of the BBQ. To prepare the BBQ, I put all burners on high-heat, then turn off the ones where I want to put the salmon, and lower the others to medium/medium-low. I like to aim for a temperature of about 400 F.
Line a BBQ-safe pan with foil. On foil, place:
8 small slices of salmon (each ~1 1/2 - 2" wide)
Drizzle salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together:
10 cloves of roasted garlic, chopped
2-3 Tbsp minced chives
2-3 Tbsp minced dill
3-4 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
Spread the garlic & herb mixture on the top of the salmon slices. Top salmon with lemon, thinly sliced.
Bake salmon at ~400 F on the BBQ for 15 minutes for small slices and 20 minutes for larger pieces of salmon. Check with a fork to make sure the thickest part is cooked thoroughly and nice and flaky. Enjoy!!!
A gorgeous tray of salmon, fresh off the BBQ. It is as tasty as it is aesthetically pleasing.

Just gorgeous - ready to pop onto the BBQ.
