Barbecued Salmon with Herb Mayonnaise
Recipe Type:
Salmon,
Lime Juice,
Diet
Yields: 4 to 6 servings
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 12 min
Ingredients:
1 1/2 to 2 pounds salmon filet
1/3 cup mayonnaise (light or non-fat)
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed
lime juice
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs of your choice
Coarse salt and coarsely-ground black pepper to taste
Preparation:
Preheat barbecue grill. Wash salmon
filet and pat dry. Place salmon (skin side down) onto a large piece of aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, with
a wire whisk, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, and herbs until smooth; spread over top of
salmon. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Place salmon (with aluminum foil) onto hot grill. Cover
barbecue with lid, open any vents, and cook 8 to 12 minutes or until
a
meat thermometer registers an
internal temperature of 145 degrees F. (salmon will be slightly opaque in
thickest part). NOTE: During this time the salmon continues to cook (meat temperature will
rise 5 to 10 degrees after it is removed from the grill) and the juices redistribute.
Carefully remove salmon from grill and transfer onto serving platter and serve.
Approximately cooking times for
salmon:
1/4 to 1/3-inch - 3 to 4 minutes
1/2 to 3/4-inch - 4 to 6 minutes
1 to 1 1/2-inch - 8 to 12 minutes
This
is the type of cooking and meat thermometer that I prefer and
use in my cooking. I get many readers
asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my
cooking and baking. I, personally, use the
Thermapen Thermometer
shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed
for professional users, the
Super-Fast Thermapen
Thermometer is used by
chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent
thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click

Makes 4 to 6 servings (depending on size
of salmon filet).
