Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1 medium zucchini halved lengthwise
  • 2 bell peppers red, orange and/or yellow, trimmed, halved and seeded
  • 1 medium red onion cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Salmon
  • 1 1/4 pounds salmon fillet cut into 4 portions
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Garnish
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon cut into 4 wedges

Equipment

  • Grill

Method
 

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Brush zucchini, peppers and onion with oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Sprinkle salmon with pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Place the vegetables and the salmon pieces, skin-side down, on the grill.
  5. Cook the vegetables, turning once or twice, until just tender and grill marks appear, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
  6. Cook the salmon, without turning, until it flakes when tested with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.
  7. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop the vegetables and toss together in a large bowl.
  8. Remove the skin from the salmon fillets (if desired) and serve alongside the vegetables.
  9. Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon basil and serve with a lemon wedge.
