Ingredients
Instructions
- Double aluminum foil and punch holes in it.
- Place the salmon on the foil.
- Season the salmon with Herbes de Provence or fine herbs, seasoning salt, and lemon pepper.
- Spread mayonnaise on top of the fish.
- Sprinkle with parsley.
- Bake in a closed grill for 10 to 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, let the salmon marinate in the seasoning for 30 minutes before grilling. If you don’t have Herbes de Provence, Italian seasoning or a blend of dried basil, thyme, and rosemary works well. Make sure to use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing. For a smoky flavor, add wood chips to the grill.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this grilled salmon alongside a refreshing Citrus'S Crab Coleslaw for a delightful contrast. A light white wine pairs well, enhancing the flavors of the fish. Consider adding some grilled vegetables or a quinoa salad for a complete meal. It’s also delicious served cold on a salad.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the salmon on a baking sheet and warm it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it can dry out the fish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen salmon, but make sure to fully thaw it before grilling. This ensures even cooking and better flavor absorption from the seasonings.
What can I substitute for mayonnaise?
If you're looking for a healthier alternative to mayonnaise, consider using Greek yogurt or a light spread of avocado. Both will add creaminess without the extra calories.
How do I know when the salmon is done cooking?
The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Keep an eye on it since cooking times can vary based on thickness.
