Cut the lemon in half and place on the grill, open side down.

Place salmon on the grill, skin-side down first, and grill 4-6 minutes, covering. The skin should release itself naturally from the grill. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes or until your desired &#8220;doneness&#8221;. Keep in mind thinker pieces may take longer, and thin pieces may take less time.

Serve salmon immediately or refrigerate for mid-week meals for up to 3 days.

Omg. That blackened salmon burger looks out-of-this-world. 🤤

Salmon salad with creamy lime cilantro dressing is amazing. The creaminess from the mayo balanced with the lime and cilantro was so perfect for the fresh veggies as well as the salmon. Even with mayo it’s light! Brought back some Copper River salmon from a recent trip to Northwest and all of these recipes looked amazing. Was hard to choose just one. Never disappointed by your recipes.

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

sage

tsp sweet paprika

chili

anchovy fillet (in oil)

tomato paste

Get all the prep done before you start cooking: finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, season both sides with 1 tsp salt and black pepper.

searing

Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and sear, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Reduce heat to low. Add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Stir in anchovy, red chili, the remaining salt and pepper, oregano, sage and paprika. Add tomato paste, stir to incorporate, about 1 minute. Deglaze with chicken broth, simmer for 2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon while scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the skillet. Pour in crushed tomatoes, simmer for 5 minutes.

simmering

Add spinach and simmer until slightly wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan and transfer salmon back to the skillet. Allow to cook for 3 more minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through. If needed, thin with additional broth.

serving

Serve topped with red pepper flakes, freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley. Enjoy!

We added some black olives and served it with pasta. Great taste!
