During the spring and summer months, I like to use my grill as much as possible, but salmon can sometimes be challenging because it tends to stick to the grates. I’ve solved that problem by wrapping the salmon in a foil packet! It cooks evenly, and clean-up couldn’t be easier!

| Yield: | 3 to 4 servings |
Ingredients
- One 1-pound piece salmon, skin intact and pin bones removed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions
- Heat a grill to medium heat (between 350 and 400 degrees F).
- Pat the salmon dry and place skin-side down on a large piece of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle with the olive oil. Brush the Dijon mustard all over the salmon and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Cajun seasoning. Top with the lemon slices.
- Bring the sides and edges of the foil together to create a pouch. Seal the edges by crimping together.
- Transfer the salmon foil packet to the grill and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the grill and let sit 5 minutes before unwrapping.
