Grilled Salmon with Zest. I was craving salmon the other day so I made some pesto, added a little lemon zest and lemon juice, and poured it on our grilled Pacific salmon. (By the way, buying wild-caught salmon can be a little pricey I know, but you should really try to avoid the farm raised stuff.) The salmon and pesto are both Paleo-approved and really yummy! In a small bowl, mix the first five ingredients; rub over fillets. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Perfectly grilled salmon with sea salt, pepper, lemon zest and dill. A quick, easy and healthy dish for a summer meal.
Whether you use a charcoal or gas grill doesn't matter but it is an advantage to use a grill plate.
The grill plate helps the salmon skin get really crisp and delicious.
If you are descaling the fish yourself, be really thorough.
