Gather the ingredients.

Double-layer aluminum foil to form a "pan" large enough for the salmon fillet; set it on a baking sheet. Place the fillet, skin-side down, in the foil "pan."
- 3
Whisk the basil, honey, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, shallots, Worcestershire sauce, and ginger in a small bowl until blended; pour over the salmon fillet and marinate for about 20 minutes.
- 4
Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill to medium-low heat.
- 5
Slide the foil pan with the salmon fillet off the baking sheet onto the preheated grill. Grill, covered, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork but is not too dry, 10 minutes per inch of thickness, about 20 minutes.
- 6
Slice the fillet, using a spatula to lift the fillet off the skin. The skin will adhere to the foil and your grill will stay clean.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
