Ingredients

1-1 1/2 pounds raw salmon
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika Regular paprika is fine.
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
foil

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat, 375 degrees.
Place the fish on a piece of foil (large enough to cover and seal the fish). Rub both sides of the fish with olive oil and sprinkle the spices onto both sides of the fish. Rub the spices in to ensure the flavor penetrates.
Seal the foil around the fish.
Place the fish on the grill.
Grill the fish for 8 minutes. Unwrap the foil and continue to grill the salmon uncovered for an additional 2-5 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Notes

When seasoning the fish, ensure the fish is fully coated with spices. Add additional spices if necessary and you need them.
