Ingredients
Instructions
For the Salmon
Heat a grill to high heat, 450°F-550°F.
Brush the cooking grates clean, rub an oiled paper towel over them and close the lid.
Mix together the seasoning (see note). Generously coat the flesh side of the salmon fillets with oil and season evenly with the seasoning mix.
Grill the salmon skin side down over direct high heat with the lid closed, for about 6-8 minutes. Gently turn the salmon over, close the lid, and cook to 130°F or about 2-5 minutes until desired doneness.
Transfer to a platter to rest for 1-2 minutes. Gently lift the salmon skin from the fillets and serve with lemon and tartar sauce.
For the Tartar Sauce
Whisk all the ingredients together and serve. It can be made up to a day ahead of time.
