Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 lemon wedged
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Method
 

  1. Pat the salmon dry and rub with olive oil.
  2. Mix the Cajun seasoning, brown sugar, and salt, then coat the fillets.
  3. Grill skin-side down over medium-high heat about 5 minutes.
  4. Flip and cook 3 to 4 more minutes until it flakes easily.
  5. Finish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Oil the grates well so the spiced crust stays on the fish, not the grill.
