Summer is coming to a close, and what better way to say good-bye than with a delicious grilled salmon dinner? As a food stylist, I think of salmon as a “pretty” fish. Its rich orange color is a beauty! While you can slather salmon with a marinade, I prefer a simple dry rub. There are so many really interesting

flavorful rubs on the market. In the recipe and photo above, I’ve used Bone Suckin’ Sauce Seasoning and Rub. It is a blend of brown sugar, paprika, garlic and spices. McCormicks also has a great line of products called Grill Mates—Seafood Rub, Applewood Rub, and Sweet & Smoky Rub to name a few. You can also make up your own rub with seasonings that fit your tastes. Experiment… it’s what makes cooking fun!!
Grilled Salmon
Makes 4 servings
4 salmon filets (6-oz. or 3/4-inch thick)
1-2 tablespoons Bone Suckin’ Sauce Seasoning and Rub
– Prepare grill & grease lightly
– With tweezers, remove any small bones from salmon steaks.
– With hands, rub seasoning over both sides of salmon steaks.
– Place salmon on hot grill rack. Cover grill and cook salmon 8 to 9 minutes, or until just opaque throughout, turning over once.
Tip
– Salmon is considered an oily fish, which contributes to its healthy attributes. It is high in protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D.

Thank you for this simple healthy salmon recipe, exactly what I was looking for! (Your photos are beautiful!)
Thank you, Tiffany… Enjoy!
I LOVE salmon- that looks delish! My absolute favorite salmon dish is linguine with smoked salmon. It’s definitely not healthy, but it tastes amazing!
I love salmon grilled or baked with broccoli and new potatoes and I’ll certainly try your recipe. It sounds great and so full of goodness.
Love your styling and pictures!
Thanks for visiting, Claire!
