Make this One of Your Go-to Week Night Meals

Grilled salmon is a cinch to prepare, high in protein, delicious, and something that has become a weekly staple in my house year-round.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, this meal can be on the table in under 30 minutes.

This recipe calls for two ingredients … fresh salmon fillets and my secret seasoning – Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Blackened Redfish Magic. I’ve been grilling my salmon with this seasoning for years and don’t feel the need to try anything else because it is so yummy, has no sugar (or other bad stuff), and is foolproof.

Depending on what you need to balance out your macros for the day, you can serve the grilled salmon with rice and steamed broccoli or opt to put it on top of a large salad with seasonal fruit, vegetable, a little goat cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

If you go with rice, remember to use your homemade bone broth from your freezer to make your rice! Keep an eye out here for my simple bone broth recipe and step-by-step directions too.

A word of caution - salmon is a healthy food, loaded with nutrients and healthy fats, so be mindful of your fat macros for the day when choosing salmon for your protein macros. Versus, say, egg whites that are also loaded with protein and don’t come with a fat macro. Word of caution … egg whites don’t taste quite as great either.

If you’re new to cooking fish, this easy recipe is one you should definitely try!

Ingredients

• 2 6 oz. salmon fillets
• Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Blackened Redfish Magic

Instructions

1.     Pre-heat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.     Spray a 12-inch sheet of foil lightly with olive or avocado oil.
3.     Place the salmon filets skin side down on the foil -or- if you’re fancy swap the foil for a water-soaked cedar plank.
4.     Season the salmon filet generously with Paul’s seasoning.
5.     Grill the salmon for 10-15 minutes while checking for doneness based on your preference. I like mine heated through but cooked more medium than well done.

Serving Suggestions

Grilled salmon is great served with carbohydrates like rice, baked white or sweet potatoes and roasted or steamed broccoli, steamed spinach or a generous sided salad.
