Easy Blackstone Salmon Recipe

Make the most tender and flaky salmon on a griddle? Seems too good to be true!

Making Salmon on the flat top grill comes out so flavorful and tender! It’s my new favorite way to make teriyaki salmon. It cooks so quick and doesn’t dry out!

I made this salmon recipe on my portable Blackstone Griddle which I took out of my RV. It’s the perfect size if you’re cooking for 1-2 people.

Cooking fish on the Blackstone Griddle can seem intimidating, but it’s not! In this post I give you step by step directions for making perfect griddled salmon every time!

Ever since I got my 5th wheel RV last year I’ve been making more and more quick and easy recipes. Whether it’s a Blackstone Griddle recipe like this one or an easy air fryer recipe. I’m all about the simple recipe life!

I even lived full time in my RV for 3 months, and with the limited cabinet space I started making healthy recipes with few ingredients like this Blackstone salmon.

Why you’ll love this delicious recipe

  • Quick and easy recipe – make perfectly cooked salmon in less than 15 minutes
  • High in protein and healthy omega 3 fatty acids
  • Dairy Free and Paleo recipe

Ingredients

ingredients to make grilled salmon (oil, salmon, teriyaki)
  • Avocado oil: I use avocado oil or an animal fat to coat the Blackstone so that the salmon does not stick to the grill. Avocado oil and animal fats such as tallow, lard and duck fat are good for cooking at high temperatures. If you don’t have any of the above you can use, butter, ghee or olive oil.
  • Wild caught fresh salmon fillets with skin: high in omega 3 fatty acids, Vitamins A, C, D, E, niacin and vitamin B12. You can use salmon with skin or without skin
  • Teriyaki sauce: in this recipe I used my homemade honey paleo teriyaki sauce (coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, no brown sugar, and tapioca flour instead of corn starch), but any teriyaki sauce will work.

Tips & Tricks

  • Make sure to oil the Blackstone Griddle so that the piece of fish doesn’t stick to the grill. Especially so if you’re using salmon without the skin on it.
  • Be sure to not over cook the salmon! Use a meat thermometer or infrared thermometer and make sure to remove the salmon from the griddle when the internal temperature reaches 145F. There’s nothing worse than dry over-cooked fish!

Tools to make Salmon on a Griddle

  • I have the 22 inch portable tabletop flat griddle grill station. It’s perfect for the RV travel life! I also have friends that have the Blackstone Adventure Ready 2-Burner 28″ Outdoor Griddle
  • If you don’t have a griddle you can also make this salmon on the stove top. I recommend using a cast iron skillet.

How to cook salmon on Blackstone Griddle

Cooking salmon on a Blackstone is incredibly easy. Salmon on the griddle makes deliciously crispy salmon skin. Enjoy this easy nutritious fish on the Blackstone recipe.

  1. First cut your salmon into 5-6 ounce filets
  2. Next check your salmon filets for pin bones. If you find any, remove them. If they’re super hard try using tweezers or even pliers (make sure they’re ones you only use in the kitchen)
  3. Next preheat your blackstone griddle to 375-400F. 
  4. Add the oil to the flat top grill once hot.
  5. Then add the salmon filets skin side down and cook for 3 minutes.
  6. Next flip and cook flesh side down for 2 minutes.
  7. Flip back to skin side down and pour teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Let cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the salmon comes to an internal temperature of 145F.
  8. Remove from griddle and serve.

Stove top directions

If you don’t have a griddle you can easily make this paleo salmon recipe on a cast iron skillet. First heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot add the avocado oil.

Next place the salmon skin side down on the cast iron skillet and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Flip over once again (skin side down) and add teriyaki sauce.

Let sauce thicken for 1-2 minutes. Remove the salmon once the internal temperature reaches 145F.

Enjoy your delicious pan seared teriyaki salmon!

What to serve with grilled salmon

Want to make this an all griddle meal? Serve this Blackstone grilled salmon recipe with my favorite Blackstone sides, Blackstone Zucchini and Blackstone Brussel sprouts with bacon.

Or make some Instant Pot basmati rice and roasted parmesan garlic asparagus while the salmon is on the griddle. If you’re trying to reduce your carb intake, try this Instant Pot Mashed Cauliflower instead of rice for a healthy meal.

How to store salmon

Store leftover salmon in a glass airtight container for up to 2 days. Have this delicious meal for lunch the next day!

How to reheat

Reheat the salmon in the microwave. Remove the lid of the storage container or transfer to a plate and cook for 1.5-2 minutes.

FAQs

Can you eat salmon skin?

You can eat the salmon skin. Many sushi restaurants actually have crispy salmon skin on the menu. Salmon skin is rich in fat soluble vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids!

Is frozen salmon healthy?

Frozen salmon is healthy, a great source of vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids. Sometimes the only way to get Alaskan salmon or sockeye salmon is to get it shipped to you frozen. Defrost the salmon in the refrigerator the night before you want to use them.

How long does this recipe take to cook?

If you’re using store bought teriyaki or already have the paleo teriyaki sauce prepared, this recipe is done in less than 15 minutes.

How to grill salmon?

First cut your salmon into 5-6 ounce filets. Remove any pin bones. Then, preheat your grill to 375-400F. Oil the grill grates or add oil to the bottom and top of the filets (or put salmon in a foil packet). Then add the salmon filets skin side down and cook for 3 minutes. Next flip and cook flesh side down for 2 minutes. Flip back to skin side down and pour teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Let cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the salmon comes to an internal temperature of 145F. Remove from grill and serve.

Which side of the salmon should I cook first?

This depends on who you ask. I cook mine skin side down first because I like my salmon skin to become crispy.

Should I flip the salmon over on the Blackstone Griddle?

Yes! Especially if your salmon is thick. This will ensure that the salmon will be cooked throughout and to an internal temperature of 145F

How to tell when salmon is done

When the salmon becomes a light pink in color and it reaches an internal temperature of 145F when checked with a meat thermometer.

How long to cook salmon on the griddle?

This greatly depends on how big and thick your salmon filet is. But typically around 10 minutes.

What temperature should I cook salmon on a griddle

Pre-heat your griddle to 375-400F to cook salmon on the griddle. This is about medium heat to medium high heat depending on your griddle type.

Can I cook salmon on a griddle

Yes. Simply oil the griddle. Then add the salmon skin side down. Cook for about 3 minutes. Flip, cook for an additional 2 minutes. Flip again and add any sauces. Let cook for 1-2 minutes or until salmon reaches 145F.
