Grilled Salmon with a Spice and Thyme Rub. Since I discovered how tasty is grilled food, any excuse is good to grill fish, meat, poultry, vegetables and even fruit….
Today’s recipe is grilled salmon with a crust made of island spices and thyme.
All you have to do is prepare a spice and thyme jerk… But the real “secret” to this juicy filet it to let the jerk to permeate to the fish by cooking it slowly (not directly over the fire) in a covered grill.
You can serve this salmon with grilled asparagus, grilled corn on the cob and grilled pineapple, as I’m doing today.
A truly feast of flavor and color, I guarantee this is the best grilled salmon you can ever have. I hope you like it!
