THE ONLY GRILLED SALMON RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED



The Only Grilled Salmon Recipe You'll Ever Need image

An easy, goof-proof grilled salmon recipe that results in amazing salmon each and every time!

Provided by Julia

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1-½ pounds skin-on salmon fillet
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon to ¼ cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 medium zucchini squash, grilled and chopped
1 medium yellow squash, grilled and chopped
1-½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 clove large garlic, minced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
4 leaves large mint, finely chopped
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons agave nectar
sea salt

Steps:

  • Brush your grill with a wire brush to remove any food particles, and coat or spray the grill with cooking oil. Preheat the grill to medium-high (400 to 450 degrees F).
  • Mix together the seasoning and salt in a small bowl until well-combined. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and use your hands to gently coat the full surface of the flesh. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the fish. NOTE: If you're performing this step ahead of time, store salmon in a seal-able container or plastic bag in the refrigerator until you're ready to grill.
  • Place the salmon fillet on the grill skin side down (I put it over the hottest part of the grill) and cover. Cook for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the skin is super crispy and fish is opaque. Carefully flip and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until salmon reaches desired done-ness. For rare-in-the-center salmon, cook about 2 minutes per side. Adjust the grill time up for salmon fillets that are thicker than 1 inch.
  • Transfer salmon to a serving platter and serve with grilled zucchini salsa!
  • Grill the zucchini and yellow squash while you're grilling the fish. To do so, cut the zucchini into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick rounds, lightly coat with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place zucchini on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook on the other side until grill marks appear, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • Transfer the chopped grilled zucchini and yellow squash to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients for the salsa and toss until well-combined.

THE "ONLY" BBQ SALMON



The

This recipe is by David Veljacic a Canadian BBQ Champion. You need time to marinade the salmon overnight in the fridge. It is a fantastic recipe. Please read the review by Wayne in Vancouver -I am sure that he knows what he is talking about I suggest that you try it his way. I copied this recipe from either a Vancouver paper or local magazine. Next time I make it I will do as Wayne suggests and if that works I will rewrite the recipe to reflect his comments - Thanks Wayne

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and may contain contaminants.
  • Prepare the salmon properly. Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any bones or skin from the fillets.
  • Use a good quality BBQ sauce. There are many different BBQ sauces available, so choose one that you like the taste of. You can also make your own BBQ sauce at home.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and drying out.
  • Baste the salmon with BBQ sauce frequently. This will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the salmon until it is cooked through. The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
