Cilantro Garlic Seasoned Salmon Recipe
Ingredients:
· One large salmon filet (aim for fresh salmon, not frozen)
· 1 tbsp. of ghee or butter
· Himalayan pink salt (to taste)
· Black pepper (to taste)
· ¼ cup chopped cilantro
· 4-6 tsp of garlic powder
Directions:
1. Preheat grill or oven to 400° F.
2. Place salmon skin side down onto a sheet of foil. Do not grease the foil sheet.
3. Season salmon evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cilantro. Evenly place pieces of butter or ghee over the top of the salmon.
4. If using an oven: baked salmon on foil in a preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, depending on thickness. Turn the oven onto broil and cook until the top appears crispy, usually 5-7 minutes.
5. If using a grill: place salmon with foil on preheated grill and grill for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
6. Once cooked, remove salmon and remove the skin by sliding a flat spatula in between the skin and the salmon. If the foil was not greased, the skin should separate from the fish easily.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
