Grilled Blackened Salmon

Grilled Blackened Salmon is super, super easy.

I know someone who knows someone else that went fishing in Alaska and caught a plenty of Salmon. The Salmon made it all the way back to my grill.

I had a good size piece, not a whole fillet, and decided to experiment out on the grill. I knew Charlie would prefer his fishy blackened, no matter what it is. I wanted to simply grill it, just to enjoy it for what it is, too. So, here’s what I did.

GRILLED BLACKENED SALMON

• Salmon fillet
• lemon
• Road Kill Grill Seasoning
• nonstick cooking spray
• heavy duty aluminum foil
• one hot, hot grill

Go ahead and prep the Salmon, first. Cut out just enough foil to make a grill cooking tray for the fish. Coat the inside of the aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray. Lay down a few thin lemon slices, enough to make bed for the fish. Lay down the Salmon, skin side down.

Pat dry to remove any excess water, then spritz it with nonstick cooking spray. You want to a little oil for the seasonings to hold onto.

Using a spoon, generously dust the fish with Road Kill Grill Seasoning, then give the top one more spritz of cooking spray to moisten the top.

Grab a beverage and go out to start the grill. You need a hot grill, 400F degrees, to cook a 1 inch thick fillet about 10 to 15 minutes. Have you read Hand Count Method for Grilling Temperatures?

Lay the Salmon with the foil tray over the hot zone of the grill. Close the grill lid, and do not flip the fish. The fish is done when it flakes.

NOW, GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY!
