Are you ready for some of the best salmon of your life? Then you need to try this salmon recipe! My husband and I couldn’t get over how good it was. Even my kids said it tasted so good (although they were working to get past the heat. I’m trying to break them in slowly to get used to spicy things because I love it so much. I had to scrape some of the rubs off of theirs).
There are two main reasons this salmon is so flavorful. First, the simple spice rub. Yes, it consists of a number of spices but chances are you have all of them or all but one of them, you may just need that chipotle chili powder to add to your pantry ingredients. It’s a great way to introduce your family to manageable spice in a dish. Be generous with butter and pat in a level of seasoning your family enjoys. The second reason for its awesome flavor is the unique and inventive Fire & Flavor Cedar Grilling Papers they’re snuggly wrapped up in. I love the idea of these papers, they’re genius really. It’s neat how the papers entirely enclose the meat or seafood so you aren’t just getting that cedar flavor on the bottom, it goes all the way around. Yes, I will be finding my way to more of these! I love a good cedar plank salmon recipe, but the price and effort can make it a bigger effort. It can be hard to find cedar planks in your local grocery stores, having to soak cedar planks, and many smokers or grills will retain the smells of salmon. Instead, cedar grilling papers can be a great shortcut. I love the way they got a nice char from the grill grates—but an oven will work too. Salmon is one of my favorite foods and this is really one of the best salmon fillets I’ve ever had! I also love how the flavors of the bell peppers infuse into the salmon since they are wrapped up and grilled together. I served this salmon with brown rice to keep things healthy but this would also be good with Mexican rice or cilantro lime rice and corn. Some rosemary, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard with side dishes of potatoes, zucchini, or green beans can make this more gourmet, too. I can’t wait to try more Fire & Flavor Products like the Apple Smoking Chips and all the rubs they make! So far I am very impressed and I can’t wait to make this salmon again! Do you love salmon too?
