HERB-CRUSTED GRILLED SALMON

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill rack
• 1-1/2- to 2-pound salmon filet
• 2 cups loosely packed fresh mixed herbs including parsley, dill, and basil
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon each coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Check the salmon for any hidden bones and pull them out with a pair of kitchen tweezers.
Place the filet skin side down on an oiled grill rack.
Set up your grill for direct heat.
Place the herbs and garlic in a food processor and run until finely chopped.
Add the lemon juice and pulse briefly. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil and process until you get a paste.
Use a spatula or your fingers to spread the herb mixture over the salmon.
Grill until the flesh is firm and opaque, between 5 and 10 minutes depending on thickness; it should reach 145°F on an instant read thermometer.
