Loaded with anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy fats - including a “boatload” of omega 3 fatty acids, as well as many other micronutrients our bodies need.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 6-10 minutes
Total Time: Minimal!

Ingredients:

  • 5-6 oz Salmon Steak (1 per person or larger for 2)
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • Garlic Salt to taste (~1/8 tsp)
  • Zatarain’s Creole Seasoning (~1/8 tsp)

Suggested Sides: Oven-roasted asparagus & your favorite rice pilaf!

Instructions:

  1. Drizzle/coat salmon (both sides) with olive oil.
  2. Sprinkle garlic salt followed by Zatarain's Creole Seasoning to taste (both sides).
  3. Let the seasoned fish rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
  4. Cook on medium-high heat using (non-stick) grill pan until done (approximately 3 minutes total per side). Grilling on BBQ requires some careful attention - try flipping 3x, changing direction 90° for last 1+1 minute to achieve grill "cross pattern." Works especially well on a George Foreman Grill® too!

Note: Larger (thicker) pieces of fish require additional seasoning & cook time, but lower heat level. OR, you may sear the fish first & then finish the cooking with indirect heat until done (internal temperature of 145°F).
