    Finally a simple & healthy grilled salmon recipe that doesn’t involve honey or maple syrup!!! I want to leave sugar recipes for desserts not meats. Thanks for showing how to cook it with the skin & how to remove it. I REALLY appreciate this recipe & video. Thanks for explaining the difference in farm-raised & wild caught fish. I just subscribed as a result & will be grilling this for my husband on Father’s Day. ❤

    First time cooking salmon for my wife. Followed this to the T. She said it was the best salmon she ever had. Clean plates doesn’t lie!

    1st time ever cooking salmon, followed this prep and instructions. Now my family requests me to cook and how I learned. I told them about the video I watched. They can't enjoy this method enough. Thank you so much for your time and assistance.

    Another good topper sauce for salmon: 1/2 c Olive Oil 1/4 c good quality soy sauce 1 Tbs Dijon Pepper (Optional) Minced garlic Whisk all ingredients in a bowl using a fork until you see if come together. Spoon over the top of the salmon.
  • I went to a Japanese restaurant that served a salmon skin salad that was absolutely delicious. They crisped up the skin and put it over a bed of mixed greens, bean sprouts, grated carrots and other veggies then drizzled with a soy-sesame-miso dressing. The crispy skin was kind of like low carb fish croutons. It was wonderful and oh so healthy.

    just made this tonight. Came out great! Tip, to save some time for your next cook, clean the grill grates right after your cook while the grates are still hot. It might just be me but I hate seeing crap from my last cook caked up on the grates.

    With the cedar plank make a slurry of brown sugar mixed with either sherry or pineapple juice. Brush it on the salmon then sprinkle steak seasoning on it. Put the lid down and cook till done. Delicious!

    I'm going to have to try that sauce! Sounds delicious! Thanks for the grill tips
  • Tried this and it was fantastic. The sauce is really good as well. Will use remaining sauce as veggie dip.
