Getting salmon just right can be an elusive pursuit. Without having a grill, I had conceded that I would never get to enjoy a perfectly moist and flakey filet. Well, turns out my dreams came true with this perfect method to make salmon. Fish, I’m kind of afraid of preparing it most the time. But not this one! And salmon is my favorite! I actually love making salmon this way now, even better than a skillet or the grill. It gets great color too if you broil it for a bit at the end.
