Course Main Course, seafood
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 6-ounce, skin-on salmon fillets
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Prep your grill for direct grilling. While the coals are heating, mix Dijon, shallot, herbes de Provence and olive oil in a small bowl.
  • Season fillets with salt and pepper. Brush with mustard sauce, avoiding the skin.
  • When coals are hot, place reusable grilling sheet on the grate. (Alternatively, work with whatever equipment you use for grilling fish.) Place fillets skin side down on grilling sheet and close the cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Flip the fillets and cook with the cover open just until salmon is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Ideally, you should have some grilling marks on the flesh side. Transfer to a platter and serve.
