How to Make Grilled Tuscan Salmon

  1. Pat 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  2. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon fillets.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained), 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are coated evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor).
  5. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill the salmon for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove the salmon from the grill and serve immediately, spooning the remaining marinade over the fillets.
