Grilled Salmon

Fresh Alaskan Salmon was on sale this week so I bought half of a large Salmon and decided to try something new. I've never braved fish on the grill before, but have heard it's great. We gave it a try, and it turned out fabulous. I'll be making this one again for sure.
Layer two sheets of aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Place 2-3 lb Salmon on aluminum foil. Open up fish and sprinkle with lemon pepper. Slice one whole lemon in thin slices and place inside the salmon. Wrap the foil up around the fish and place on medium heated grill. Cook 10 minutes on one side, flip and cook another 10 minutes on the other side. Check fish to make sure it is flaky and serve. It was quite simple, healthy and delicious.
