Pancetta and Lemon Salmon
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lb salmon fillet bones removed
- 4-6 slices pancetta sliced thin
- 1 whole lemon
- salt & pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare a piece of aluminum foil just slightly larger than the piece of salmon you will be grilling. Spray foil with cooking spray.
- Place salmon skin side down on the aluminum foil on a preheated grill. Drizzle olive oil on the salmon and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Zest some lemon over your salmon, then cut lemon in half and squeeze some juice over the the salmon. Layer pancetta pieces down the middle.
- With lid down cook salmon over medium heat for 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until fish flakes easily with a fork (I go by feel but do not overcook).
- Remove salmon from grill and serve immediately.
Notes
Leftover salmon can be used in salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes or even salmon loaf.
