Preparation

Step 1 Prepare salmon
Heat grill to medium-high (400F). Spray-coat dull side of aluminum foil (18-inch sheet, cut 4 inches longer than salmon side). Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska salmon under cold water; pat dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides of frozen fish with oil and place on foil (skin side down).
-
Step 2 Grill the salmon
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. Place packet, seam side down, onto grill grate and cook 8-10 minutes.
-
Step 3 Meanwhile, make the seasoning mix
Select your seasoning of choice and combine ingredients in a small bowl.
-
Step 4 Season salmon and finish grilling
Remove packet from grill, open, and spread the seasoning mix all over the salmon side. Crimp loosely to close, and return to grill (seam side up). Cook an additional 8-10 minutes, just until fish is opaque throughout.
