3 1⁄2 lb (1 1⁄2 - 2 kg) side of salmon, pin bones removed
juice of 1/2 lemon, optional
Sea Salt, optional
Preparation
Stir Salmon Rub with oil, then rub on top of salmon.
For easier grilling, place in a grilling pan or on a large piece of extra-strength aluminum foil.
Place on grill over medium heat. Close lid and grill until salmon is cooked through, approximately 15–20 minutes. TIP: To test for doneness, insert a knife tip in thickest part of fish and hold for a few seconds. Remove and test knife temperature. If the knife tip is warm, fish is cooked.
Carefully remove fish to a cutting board. To serve without skin, insert 2 spatulas between skin and flesh. Gently lift fish and place on a platter. Squeeze lemon juice overtop and season with Sea Salt, if you wish.

Pairs perfectly with Orzo Greek Salad
A side of salmon can vary dramatically in size and thickness. A good rule of thumb for cooking is 10 minutes per every 1” of thickness. Be sure to grill extra salmon tonight for an easy dinner tomorrow.
