Grilled Salmon with Tomatoes and Basil

I haven't actually tried this one since my husband doesn't like us cooking fish at home (smell), but I think it sounds really good. The recipe is another one that I found at the Commissary, image is from http://www.cooking.com/.




Makes: 4 servings


Active and Total Time: 30 mins


Ingredients:


2 cloves garlic, minced


1 tsp salt, divided


1 tbsp olive oil


1 whole wild salmon fillet (about 1.5 pounds)


1/3 cup plua 1/4 cup fresh basil thinly sliced (see photo), divided


2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced


1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper


Directions


Preheat grill to medium.


Mash minced garlic and 3/4 tsp salt on a cutting board with side of chefs knife or a spoon until a paste forms. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in oil.


Check salmon for pin bones and remove if necessary. Measure out a piece of heavy-duty foil (double regular foil) large enough for the fillet. Coat foil with cooking spray. Place salmon skin side down on the foil and spread garlic mixture all over it. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup basil. Overlap tomato slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and pepper.


Transfer salmon in the foil to the grill. Grill until fish flakes easily, about 10 mins. Use two large spatulas to slide salmon from foil to serving platter. Serve topped with remaining basil.
