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 on the underlined: Thermapen Thermometer. Makes 4 to 6 servings (depending on size of salmon filet).
