Ingredients for grilled salmon

Let’s break down the ingredients for grilled salmon, shall we? You only need a few quality ingredients to make the very best grilled salmon.

​

  • Skin-on salmon fillets.   Try to find wild-caught if you can: it tastes better and is most sustainable. Skin on is important because it acts as a barrier between the fish and the grill while cooking.

  • Olive oil & salt.   You’ll just need a bit for rubbing and sprinkling.

  • Seafood seasoning.    Salmon is beautiful with just salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon.

 

But want to take it over the top, you could make a homemade seafood seasoning to bring savory flavor to this fish. There’s a little smoky, savory, and salty, with a hint of celery seed and allspice for some intrigue.  Here’s what’s in this magic seasoning blend:

​

  • Smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)

  • Garlic powder

  • Onion powder

  • Thyme

  • Celery seed

  • Cumin

  • Allspice

  • Salt

Tips for how to grill salmon: the easy way!
 

Some people swear by cooking grilled salmon in foil. But we think the very best way is right on the grill grates. This way, you get all that smoky flavor and a crispy exterior. Here are our tips for how to grill salmon:

​

Brine the salmon first! Brining is simply placing the salmon in a salt water solution while the grill preheats. It makes for perfectly moist salmon, and also helps the salmon come to room temperature which makes it cook more evenly. 


The temperature for grilled salmon? Medium high heat, or 375 to 450 degrees. Medium high heat makes for a perfectly cooked piece of salmon. While you can cook at high heat and then finish at lower heat, we like the ease of grilling at one temperature.

​

How long to cook grilled salmon? 3 to 5 minutes skin side up until grill marks form and it releases from the grates, then 2 to 5 minutes skin side down, depending on the thickness! The best way to measure whether it’s done is using an internal thermometer. Stick it in the thickest part of the fish and it should read 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
