Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 salmon skin on, fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Spice mix

  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Lemon garlic sauce

  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon juice of
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium high. Brush the salmon with olive oil on both sides.
  2. Make the spices mix by combining the cumin, coriander, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder in a small bowl. Coat the salmon (flesh side, not the skin side) with the spice mix.
  3. While the grill is heating, make the lemon garlic sauce by mixing the minced garlic with lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl and set it aside.
  4. To avoid the salmon sticking to the grates, cut a potato in half and rub it on the grill grates. The starch in the potato makes the grates nonstick.
  5. Place the salmon, flesh side down on the grill grates. Grill for 4 minutes until the fillets release themselves and then flip and grill the other side for 5 minutes.
  6. Top with the lemon garlic sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can make the sauce up to a day in advance and keep it refrigerated until you're ready to serve. 
  • The grilling time depends on the size and thickness of the salmon fillets. You'll know the salmon is fully cooked once it's flakes easily and the color looks opaque and pinkish white. 
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan or in the oven at 300 degrees F for 15 minutes.
