Easy Spicy Grilled Salmon Recipe

This recipe features salmon fillets seasoned with a homemade Cajun spice blend, grilled to perfection. The dish takes about 20 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges for serving
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the Salmon: Brush the marinade over both sides of the salmon fillets. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill and serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
