Mix together the seasoning and salt in a small bowl until well-combined. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and use your hands to gently coat the full surface of the flesh. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the fish. NOTE: If you're performing this step ahead of time, store salmon in a seal-able container or plastic bag in the refrigerator until you're ready to grill.

Place the salmon fillet on the grill skin side down (I put it over the hottest part of the grill) and cover. Cook for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the skin is super crispy and fish is opaque. Carefully flip and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until salmon reaches desired done-ness. For rare-in-the-center salmon, cook about 2 minutes per side. Adjust the grill time up for salmon fillets that are thicker than 1 inch.

Grill the zucchini and yellow squash while you're grilling the fish. To do so, cut the zucchini into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick rounds, lightly coat with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place zucchini on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook on the other side until grill marks appear, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and chop when cool enough to handle.

Easy Salmon Recipe

2.5 lb Salmon Fillet

lemon (sliced)

butter

Tbsp parsley (dried)

BBQ Sauce (optional to taste)

Begin by preheating your grill to approximately 350°F to 400°F

Once your grill is warm, add your salmon fillets skin side down onto the grill. If you do not have a pan, you may want to line your grill with aluminum foil, and lightly greased, so that your fish does not fall through the grill grates.

Brush with butter, sprinkle with dried parsley, and top with lemon slices.

Cook your salmon until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

If desired, top with BBQ sauce, and allow to cook for 5-10 minutes more before removing from the grill. Remove from the grill, serve right away, and enjoy!

Grill Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F

Line a cooking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Cut your salmon fillet into approximately six pieces in place skin side down on the foil.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature 145°F.

Top with BBQ sauce and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, then remove from the oven. Serve right away and enjoy!

Oven Instructions

Fridge: Store raw salmon in the fridge up to 1-2 days before cooking. Cooked salmon may be stored in your fridge for 3-4 days.

Freezer: Raw salmon may be frozen 3-8 months at 0°F or below. Cooked salmon may be frozen up to 3 months at 0°F or below.

Room Temp: Fish should be kept at room temperature (between 40°F-90°F) no more than two hours before it goes bad.
