Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon steaks
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towels and brush both sides with the olive oil.
Rub the spice mixture generously over the salmon steaks, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
If using a grill, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the salmon steaks directly on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and forms a caramelized crust. If using an oven, place the salmon steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
Enjoy your Cinnamon Brown Sugar BBQ-Ed Salmon Steaks with your favorite side dishes!
