12 Ways to Enjoy the Best Grilled Salmon

By Chef Jackie F
June 18, 2020
Skip gallery slides
Pin

Although there's a world of flavor enhancements you can create with marinades, rubs, and sauces, grilled salmon tastes great even without any sauces and seasonings. The natural oils found in salmon help keep the flesh moist and flavorful when it's cooked over high heat. Plus, these oils contains a high amount of an unsaturated fat called omega-3 fatty acids, which is good for maintaining your heart health—another plus that makes salmon such a great choice for grilling. Fire up your appetite for grilled salmon with these top-rated recipes.

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

It's worth the effort to find cedar planks for grilling; look for them in the fresh fish section of larger grocery stores and at a fresh fish market. They give your salmon a sweet, smoky flavor and woodsy aroma, while keeping the flesh tender and moist. Plus, the presentation is pleasingly rustic. Read up on what you need to know to plank-grill, and get ready for a whole new level of outdoorsy flavor.

Grilled Salmon Skewers

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

These easy salmon kabobs are glazed with a mixture of soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and fresh ginger. This is another recipe where you want to hold aside extra marinade to be cooked down and drizzled over the salmon before serving. If you're using wood skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 20 to 30 minutes before cooking, so they don't burn while grilling.
