Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for the grill
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 English cucumber, chopped
1/4 sweet onion, very thinly sliced
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 skin-on center-cut wild salmon fillets (5 to 6 ounces each)
1 teaspoon garam masala
2 pieces naan bread
3 lemons, halved
1 avocado, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Lightly brush the grates with vegetable oil. Toss the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Rub the top and sides of the salmon with the garam masala; season generously with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the bread and the cut sides of the lemons with the vegetable oil. Grill the salmon until charred but still slightly pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill the lemons until juicy and well charred, about 2 minutes per side. Grill the bread until toasted, about 1 minute per side.
  • Squeeze 2 grilled lemon halves into the tomato-cucumber salad, add the avocado and toss. Divide among plates. Add a piece of salmon and a grilled lemon half to each plate. Cut the bread into wedges and serve with the salmon.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (4oz. each)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 (2 lb) salmon fillets

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil and sesame oil together.
  • Brush both sides of salmon with oil mixture.
  • In a small bowl combine all of the seasonings.
  • Rub over salmon fillet, covering both sides, pressing seasonings down into flesh.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill.
  • Grill salmon fillet uncovered, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon possible. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and firm flesh. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a slimy texture.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the salmon. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin. You can also use fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, and thyme.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Grilled salmon is best served hot off the grill. You can also flake it and add it to salads, sandwiches, or tacos.

Conclusion:

Grilled spiced salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals.
