¼ c. kosher salt
¼ c. dried parsley
¼ c. dried minced onion
¼ c. dried basil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Tips:

  • Select the Right Salmon: Choose fresh, wild-caught salmon fillets or steaks with vibrant color and a mild, fresh scent.
  • Proper Thawing: If using frozen salmon, thaw it thoroughly in the refrigerator or under cold running water before cooking.
  • Seasoning: Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper, and optionally add your favorite herbs or spices for extra flavor.
  • Grilling Technique: Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly grease the grates to prevent sticking. Cook the salmon skin-side down first for a crispy skin, then flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Basting: Baste the salmon with melted butter or olive oil during grilling to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Sauce Variations: Feel free to experiment with different sauce variations to complement the salmon. Try a creamy dill sauce, a tangy lemon-herb sauce, or a spicy chili-lime sauce.
  • Garnish and Serving: Garnish the grilled salmon with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or capers before serving. Pair it with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, grilled asparagus, or a fresh salad.
