SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED SALMON



Sweet and Spicy Grilled Salmon image

The decadent-tasting "good" fat in salmon complements the sweet-spicy Buffalo glaze. The skin gets caramelized and crisp on the grill as the sauce drips onto it. It's delicious, but can be discarded to save fat and calories. (The numbers below include the skin.) A crisp and refreshing celery slaw is dressed with the same sauce, made creamy with light mayo, and brightened with onions and chives.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon snipped chives
8 stalks celery, very thinly sliced in half moons on an angle
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
Four 5-ounce center-cut skin-on salmon fillets, about 1-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on medium high.
  • Mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, paprika and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise; set aside the rest of the sauce. Add the chives, celery and onions to the bowl with the mayonnaise and toss well.
  • Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grate lightly with oil. Lay the salmon on the grill, skin-side up, and cook until distinct grill marks appear and the salmon releases easily from the grate, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brush the fish with some of the reserved sauce. Continue to cook the fish, brushing the pieces periodically with the sauce, until the salmon fillets are glazed and just cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes more.
  • Transfer the fillets to individual plates and serve with the celery slaw.

SWEET PAPRIKA SALMON



Sweet Paprika Salmon image

This is a quick and easy salmon recipe for the grill. I found it in the Heart Healthy magazine and it has become our favorite salmon recipe for the grill. You can add more cayenne pepper if you like it spicier - I added 1/4 tsp. and it was great for our tastes and I also used Splenda brown sugar cutting the sugar in half. Putting it here on the 'zaar for safe keeping - I tend to lose recipes that are on bits of paper :-)

Tips for Making Sweet Paprika Salmon

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for a wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon fillet with a deep orange-red hue and firm texture.
  • Marinate the Salmon: Marinating the salmon in a mixture of sweet paprika, olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices enhances its flavor and keeps it moist.
  • Use Good Quality Paprika: Choose a sweet paprika with a vibrant red color and a slightly smoky flavor. Avoid using old or stale paprika, as it can impart a bitter taste.
  • Cook the Salmon Properly: Whether you're baking, pan-frying, or grilling the salmon, ensure it is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Serve with Complementary Sides: Pair the sweet paprika salmon with roasted vegetables, such as broccoli, asparagus, or sweet potatoes, for a balanced meal.
