G R I L L E D  S A L M O N

1/2 lb salmon

1 lemon 1/4 zested, juice saved for when the salmon gets off the grill

 salt

olive oil 

rub the salmon with olive oil then sprinkle with lemon zest and salt. 

place on preheated grill skin side down. 

salmon cooks quickly so stay by the bbq and look to see as the one side starts to look cooked then flip and watch the next side to pink up. 

I prefer my salmon rather raw on the inside so please cook to how you like
