Best Salmon Recipe - Secrets of the Salmon Bake

Ingredients:

Whole or halved Salmon
1/2 Stick butter
1/2 Lemon
1 Tbsp Sea Salt (Kosher works too)
Fresh Ground Pepper

Make a large sheet of foil, by taking two layers tin foil of equal length. Place one on top of the other, and then fold one long edge three or four times. Open the two halves, and place salmon on seam.

Squeeze lemon all over the salmon. slice the butter and put on salmon. Sprinkle salt and pepper.

Bring edges up and seal together like the previous edge. until it is tight on the salmon. Fold up the ends to make an air tight seal.

Allow to marinate in fridge for at least one hour up to a day.

When ready to cook prepare a bed of hot charcoal. When white and ashy, place salmon on top and let cook for about 15-20 minutes. Carefully flip salmon over and cook on other side for an additional 10-20 minutes depending on thickness.

Enjoy!
