Grilled Salmon Recipe

This amazing grilled salmon recipe is as versatile as it is delicious. You can use this salmon recipe for everything from salmon tacos to a salmon caesar salad. We decided to make tacos, salad and pair it with some mashed potatoes!

To start, season your salmon with a medium to light coat of Code 3 Sea Dog rub and some lemon slices.

Once you’ve seasoned your salmon, preheat the grill to 350 degrees and set up for direct-heat cooking. We like to use Grill Grates to get that perfect heat distribution and grill marks.

Prepared wasabi mayo for salmon tacos

While the salmon cooks, prepare your wasabi mayo. We usually start with a quarter cup of mayo and add wasabi to taste. Feel free to adjust based on your preference!

Your grilled salmon is ready once the thickest part of the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
