Mom’s Grilled Salmon

    My salmon recipe is a lot less involved, and may be too plain for some tastes, but it works really well for me. I think if you serve it with the dill sauce, it will probably satisfy everyone.

Mesquite charcoal (try to get the real mesquite stuff, not the briquettes. This stuff generally looks pretty primitive, but is very good and burns well, also)
1 salmon filet, skin on

    Place the salmon filet over hot grill on a piece of foil, cover. Cook about 10 minutes. Be sure not to over cook as it will dry out. When removing the salmon from the foil, the skin will stick, so it is very easy to de-skin for service. That’s it! Easy as can be.
