Ingredients
  • 4 Salmon fillets (skin on)
  • 1 Zucchini, sliced
  • 2 Bell peppers (various colors), quartered
  • 1 Red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Black pepper

Prepare the Vegetables

In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.

Prepare the Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Prepare the Charcoal Grill

Light the charcoal and allow it to burn until the coals are covered with a light gray ash. Ensure the grill is hot for achieving a good char on the vegetables and salmon.

Grill the Vegetables

Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Grill the Salmon

Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the salmon is almost cooked through. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Serve

Remove the salmon and vegetables from the grill. Serve the flame-kissed salmon immediately alongside the charred vegetables. A drizzle of balsamic glaze can add extra flavor.

FAQ

  • Can I use different vegetables?

    Yes, feel free to use your favorite vegetables, such as asparagus, mushrooms, or corn on the cob. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
  • What if I don't have balsamic vinegar?

    You can substitute with red wine vinegar or lemon juice for a similar tangy flavor.
  • How do I prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill?

    Make sure the grill is clean and well-oiled before placing the salmon on it. Cooking the salmon skin-side down first will also help prevent sticking.
