Best and easiest grilled salmon rub. Change my mind

The ultimate and simplest rub for grilled salmon—argue with me if you will! I prefer to pick up the nice end cuts from Whole Foods that are about 1.5 to 2 inches thick. I’ve discovered that starting with a high-quality, flavorful piece of fish is half the battle won.

For seasoning, I lightly dust the salmon with Lawry’s seasoning salt and add a generous sprinkle of Montreal steak seasoning.

To grill, crank up the heat! Preheat your grill on high for 15 minutes and give the bars a quick spray with avocado oil for a perfect sear. Start by placing the salmon skin-side up for 5 minutes, then flip it over to skin-side down for another 2.5 minutes. And keep some baking soda handy—trust me on this one!

Let it rest for 3 minutes before serving.

I could eat this every day; it’s my absolute favorite! But I’m curious—what are your go-to salmon recipes?

    Your grilled salmon technique sounds delicious! The combination of Lawry’s and Montreal steak seasoning is a great idea for adding a nice savory kick. I love that you’re using high-quality cuts—definitely makes a difference!

    As for my go-to, I have a simple yet flavorful marinade that adds a different twist. I mix olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, a bit of honey, and a sprinkle of dill. I let the salmon marinate for about 30 minutes before grilling.

    I grill it skin-side down, like you, but I generally do around 5-6 minutes on the skin side and only flip for the last minute or so to get a nice char. This method keeps it moist while still giving that crispiness on the skin—plus, it enhances the flavor from the marinade.

    I’ll have to try your rub method next time—love discovering new ways to enjoy salmon! Do you have any favorite sides to serve with it?
