Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 1– 1 ½ lbs. salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
- Olive oil
For the House Seasoning
- ¼ cup garlic powder
- ¼ cup kosher salt
- ¼ cup dried parsley
- ¼ cup dried minced onion
- ¼ cup dried basil
Instructions
Prepare the House Seasoning
- Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Prepare the Salmon
- Rub each piece of salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with house seasoning, to taste (I use about 1 teaspoon of olive oil and ¼ teaspoon of seasoning per piece).
Grill the Salmon
- Heat coals, gas grill, or grill pan to medium heat (about 350°F-400°F). Brush the grill grates with a little bit of oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Place salmon on the grill. Cover and grill over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side (maybe a few more minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish). The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Notes
- The FDA recommends cooking fish to 145°F. However, for a flakier, more moist and tender salmon filet, many chefs find that it's best enjoyed at 125°F (medium). We don't usually use a thermometer, but instead look to see that the texture flakes easily with a fork. The inside changes from translucent (red or raw) to opaque (pink).
- Scale the recipe to serve your family, cooking as many salmon fillets as you need. For instance, double the ingredients and cook about 3 pounds of fish. When you have a batch of seasoning prepared it's easy to make a larger meal.
