By Coach Michelle - Performance HighMarch 30, 2022Coach Michelle, Recipe

Salmon is a great protein source – quick to cook, lots of good fat, tastes great with all sorts of add-ons. Every time I make it I tell myself that I need to cook it more regularly! Here’s a super easy, super fast, very delicious recipe. Great for the grill or the oven!

Ingredients

Salmon fillet or steaks
Mayonnaise
Lemon
Orange
Onion
Salt & Pepper

Preheat oven to 325 deg or grill. Place salmon on sheet of foil (if using fillets, skin-side down). Sprinkle with salt & pepper. Then spread the fish with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Thinly slice lemon & orange & cover fish with alternating slices. Thinly slice onion & scatter on top of lemons & oranges.

Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up & over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. If your piece of foil is not large enough, place a second piece on top & fold the edges under so that it forms a sealed packet. Leave a little room inside the foil for air to circulate.

Bake or grill for 15-30min (depending upon the size of your salmon). Check for doneness by taking a sharp knife & inserting into the thickest part of your salmon. If it is beginning to flake, but still has a little translucency in the middle, it is done. Or, if you’d rather take an internal temp, it should reach 145 deg.

Enjoy!
