A family favorite: Spicy, crisp and tender salmon. Started to make it just for two until I made a much larger batch for a summer lunch on a whim and it was perfectly light and flavorful! Hope you give it a try (-:

Time 23m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs salmon fillets
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fine cajun spices
1/3 cup roasted pineapple and habanero sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat Grill to 500 degrees on High.
  • Slice salmon fillet into five equal pieces.
  • Place salmon pieces on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to leave 3" excess all around.
  • Coat salmon with 1 teaspoon olive oil (I prefer using a spray bottle for my olive oil, approximately 5 sprays).
  • Sprinkle same side of salmon with half the spices and rub into fish.
  • If using optional sauce, spread all of the sauce atop spice and rub into fish.
  • Flip the salmon pieces over and coat other side with 1 teaspoon olive oil and remaining spices, rub into fish.
  • Fold edges of foil up and slide onto hot covered grill cooking on high for about 7 minutes. Carefully flip each piece and continue to grill for 5-6 more minutes.
  • Carefully move to serving platter, enjoy hot off the grill with a fresh garden salad.
