Ingredients for Making Blackstone Salmon
- Soy Sauce: Either soy sauce or gluten-free tamari work great here. Coconut aminos or Braggs liquid aminos are great options to keep this recipe soy-free.
- Oil: I use avocado oil for cooking, but you can use your favorite oil. I don’t recommend cooking with extra-virgin olive oil. (But regular olive oil is fine.) Butter is an option as well.
- Brown Sugar: This adds a very subtle kick of sweetness.
- Seasonings: Basil, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper add just the right amount of flavor to the fish. Feel free to play with the blend and use your favorite dried herbs.
- Salmon: Use wild-caught salmon if possible.
- Lemon Juice: I like to finish this dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Tips & Tricks
- The salmon fillets that I had were skinless, but I recommend cooking it skin-side down first if you have skin-on salmon. Let the skin get crispy before you flip it.
- Don’t skip oiling the griddle well before cooking – this helps to prevent sticking.
- Make sure you check for pin bones. They have often already been removed, but it is a good idea to check.
- Fresh salmon is always best, but if you can’t find it, flash-frozen is your next best option.
Serving Suggestions

Storage
Leftovers may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. You can reheat the salmon in the microwave or serve it cold on a salad for a light lunch. While it is safe to freeze cooked fish, I do not recommend it due to the deterioration of the texture.
How to Make Salmon on the Blackstone Griddle
