Great Grilled Alaska Salmon with Greek Seasoning

Recipe courtesy of Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 frozen Alaska Salmon side (1.5 to 2.5 pounds)
Heavy duty aluminum foil (18-inch wide)
Olive oil cooking spray
Light olive oil

Greek Seasoning:
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped Roma tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped olives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F | 205°C).
2. Spray-coat dull side of aluminum foil (18-inch wide sheet, cut 4-inches longer than salmon side).
3. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel.
4. Brush both sides of frozen fish with oil and place on foil (skin side down). Bring long sides of foil together and fold over several times to seal; roll up short ends to form a packet.
5. Place packet, seam side down, onto grill grate and cook 8 to 10 minutes.
6. Remove packet from grill, open, and add Greek seasoning. Crimp loosely to close, and return to grill (seam side up). Cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes just until fish is opaque throughout.

Makes 4 servings.
