Like the title says simple salmon for a Monday night dinner.

It doesn't really get any more basic then this dish.

First the salmon. The package said Coho(farm raised), but I'm a little skeptical.

Basic Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice: on the kettle cooking indirect. No smoke added on this fish.

Two spuds - one russet(mine) and one sweet(wifes). Added a few slices of butter to the salmon near the end and....

she's done. No laughing at the bacon bits on my tator. I kind of have a soft spot for the bits. Salmon is flakey, juicey and delicious.

Simple and quick. It probably took about 3 PBRs from start to finish. Including getting the 22" hot.

Thanks for taking a quick peek.

Thanks Jim, for the like and compliment. It was tasty, and I use bits in salad as well. Some days a feller just doesn't feel like frying up bacon.

That looks awesome Chris. Bacon bits on a tater is heaven. Not laughing at all! Great job! Gotta love that Weber kettle!

Dave

Appreciate it Dave, I did forget to add smoked cheese to the tater, but oh well. Your right the kettle always answers the call.

Looks good! I love salmon! Great write up!

Thanks Justin for the nice words and like, salmon is a favorite around here also as well as trout.

Simple and delicious. What's not to like?

Thank you Braz. Simplicity is the name of the game. No brining just a simple seasoning and indirect cook.

Thanks Eddie for the compliment and like. Not much in the way preparations on this salmon, but I feel ya.

looks pretty good Chris! You know me I like simple, it makes good!

Thanks civil, there something to be said about keeping it simple. There's a time and place for everything. I don't mind prepping for hours with injections, brines and rubs. However most times keeping it basic hits the nail on the head. Also thanks for the like appreciate it.

Thank you Richie appreciate it. With your skills cooking fish. I have no doubts whatever you do will be fantastic.

Looks delicious Chris! I was raised on bacon bits.

I've used them for years also xray in salads and potato dishes. Thanks for the like appreciate it.

Looks Great Chris!!
However Salmon is the only Fish that I find much better Smoked than Grilled.
Maybe it's me, but every time I've made Salmon any other way than Smoked, I have been disappointed.
Nice Job!

Thanks Bear appreciate it and the like. I normally smoke the salmon also, but I needed to change it up a bit. I can only take so much smoked food in a week. Besides the wife prefers it this way.

Thanks Sow for the like and compliment. They say fish is healthy for ya so I try to mix it in at least twice a month. I also snack on pickled herrings and sardines most times instead of cake and cookies.
