Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Make a pan out of aluminum foil by doubling up layers of foil large enough to hold your fillet. Place the foil onto a baking sheet. Lay the fillet onto the foil with the skin side down.
Step 2
To make the marinade: Mix lemon juice, honey, oil, soy sauce, shallots, Worcestershire sauce, basil, and ginger in a small bowl until well combined; pour over salmon fillet and marinate for about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat a grill for medium-low heat.
Step 4
Slide the foil pan containing the salmon off of the baking sheet and onto the preheated grill. Cover with the lid and grill for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, about 20 minutes. Salmon should be able to flake with a fork, but not be too dry. When you serve the salmon, the skin will stick to the foil and your grill will remain clean. Simply slice and use a spatula to scoop the fillet off of the skin to serve.
