This is a great way to grill salmon. It's easy and quick to prepare (no marinating, no resting time).

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

oil or grease (for the grill grates)
2 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder (or jarred minced onion)
1 to 2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (divided 1/4 cup + 1/8 cup + 1/8 cup)
4 (6-oz) salmon fillets, boneless and skinless

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat grill. Generously grease or oil the grill grates.
  • 2. Thoroughly combine all the seasonings (from paprika to cumin) in a bowl, and set seasoning blend aside.
  • 3. With half of the melted butter (1/4 cup), brush both sides of all the fillets. Rub the seasoning blend over both sides of all of the fillets. Drizzle 1/8 cup of the melted butter over the fillets.
  • 4. Place fillets on hot grill, buttered side down, and grill until blackened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets over, drizzle the remaining 1/8 cup of melted butter across the top of each fillet, and continue grilling for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the second side is blackened and the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork at the thickets part.
