For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding thinly sliced lemon, dill sprigs, or a knob of butter to each foil packet before sealing. If you don't have liquid smoke, you can substitute it with a splash of Worcestershire sauce for a similar smoky depth. Be careful when opening the foil packets, as hot steam will escape. Use tongs to handle the salmon and avoid burns. This recipe also works well in the oven. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C) and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the Salmon: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, sea salt, lemon-pepper seasoning, and seasoned salt. Mix well. Coat the halved salmon fillets thoroughly with the seasoning mixture. (10 minutes)
03
StepAssemble the Foil Packets: Place each seasoned salmon fillet on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Drizzle each fillet with olive oil and liquid smoke. (5 minutes)
04
StepSeal the Packets: Fold the foil over the salmon, creating a sealed packet. Ensure the edges are tightly sealed to trap the steam inside, but leave a little room for air circulation. (5 minutes)
05
StepGrill the Salmon: Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Cook for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, carefully open the foil to allow the salmon to lightly brown. (25 minutes)
06
StepCheck for Doneness: The salmon is done when it is easily flaked with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). (2 minutes)
07
StepServe: Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill. Let rest for a few minutes before opening to allow the steam to escape. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
