How to Make Beer Salmon

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Create an oblong grilling packet using a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 12x18 inches).
  3. Place a 6-ounce salmon fillet in the center of the foil packet.
  4. Season the salmon generously with 1 teaspoon garlic salt and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter, cut into small pieces.
  5. Top the salmon with 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup of your favorite beer into the foil packet, ensuring the liquid level is just below the top of the salmon fillet.
  7. Carefully fold the foil over the salmon to create a sealed packet, ensuring no steam can escape.
  8. Place the foil packet on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet and your grill's heat.
