Paleo Grilled Salmon

This paleo grilled salmon is an easy go-to for dinner in a rush.  Throw it on the BBQ when it’s too stinking hot to cook indoors.  Versatile and easy, it can be served atop a salad, (Caesar is my fave) or with veggies and ranch!  You can also put it atop some zucchini noodles for a pasta substitute!

I am uncomfortable.  It’s been hot here, which I can absolutely live with.  I have lived in this area my whole life and highs of 42C (107-ish F) are just fine with me.  But my body is revolting; I have heat rash, or maybe a sunscreen reaction under my breasts.  It’s never fun to have a rash of any sort.  And this one is less than flattering for bikini weather.  I am carrying around a few extra pounds, which makes me even more uncomfortable, but that is a story for another day.

The reason I am uncomfortable is that I’m not sleeping.  Have you ever been hit by a bout of insomnia?  Suffered that feeling of total exhaustion, but when you lie down sleep eludes you?  Hours spent tangled in sheets, tossing and turning; willing sleep to come?

I have tried: mindful breathing, meditating, yoga, a calcium magnesium supplement, no screen time, white noise, ice pack in my pillow, lavender spray, and a Deepak Chopra deep sleep seminar.  Still, I have either been up for (or still awake) at sunrise.  On the bright side, the sunrises have been gorgeous.  I find it hard not to get angry about not being able to sleep, which makes it worse.  I am curious as to why I am having such a hard time sleeping?  Stress?  Hormone imbalance?  A repressed and unconscious desire to see sunrises?  Whatever it may be, I would like it to stop.  How have you dealt with insomnia?  Lay it on me!

I did grill up some salmon; so great with scrambled eggs, salad, or just on its own with steamed veggies, my favorite dinner in a rush!

Description

This Paleo grilled salmon is an easy go-to for dinner in a rush. Throw it on the BBQ when it’s too stinking hot to cook indoors. Versatile and easy, can be served atop a salad, (Caesar is my fave) or with veggies and ranch! You can also put it atop some zucchini noodles for a pasta substitute!

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 2 lbs fresh or frozen wild salmon
• 2 tsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tsp butter or ghee
• 1 lemon cut into slices
• salt and pepper

---

Instructions

1. Place a length of tinfoil down, place salmon skin side down in the center.
2. Lightly massage the butter onto the salmon skin.
3. Sprinkle fresh dill overtop
4. Place thinly sliced lemon overtop of the dill, (I put a couple underneath the skin as well so the skin doesn’t stick to the tinfoil).
5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper
6. Pull the sides of the tinfoil up to make a tent, and roll the ends to keep the steam in.
7. Fire up the grill, and grill on medium heat for 10 min per pound, a little longer for especially thick salmon steaks.

Notes

Be careful not to cook salmon for too long or too hot, you want it opaque but not dried out!
