Salmon is one of our favorite fish to eat, and it is a good thing since we usually have a freezer full! Living in the Pacific Northwest has its benefits, and fresh, world-class salmon is definitely one of them.

Our favorite way to cook salmon is on the grill, but most of these recipes can also be done in the oven if you doing have a grill handy.

Salmon is best seasoned simply. Many times we just use some salt and pepper with a squeeze of fresh lemon and call it a day. I’m going to list some of my favorite rubs and salts below!

  1. Midnight Toker by The Spice Guy
  2. Citrus Pucker Pepper by The Spice Guy
  3. Maui Wowee from Spiceology
  4. Red Salt

Don’t fish? Here are some options for ordering King and Silver salmon right to your door!
