Blackstone Grilled Salmon with Lemon Garlic Butter

Blackstone Grilled Salmon with Lemon Garlic Butter
Just last weekend, I was craving something fresh yet hearty, and this Blackstone grilled salmon with lemon garlic butter hit the spot perfectly—it’s become my go-to for quick, impressive dinners that feel like a restaurant treat without the fuss. I love how the griddle gives it that beautiful sear while keeping the inside tender, and the lemon garlic butter is so simple but adds a burst of flavor that makes every bite irresistible.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin-on or skinless based on preference
– 2 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil like avocado oil)
– 1 tsp kosher salt
– ½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground for best flavor
– 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
– 3 cloves garlic, minced finely
– 1 lemon, zested and juiced (about 2 tbsp juice)
– 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, aiming for a surface temperature of 400°F—use an infrared thermometer if available for accuracy.
2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a better sear.
3. Brush both sides of the salmon fillets evenly with olive oil.
4. Season the salmon fillets on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on) on the preheated griddle, spacing them apart to avoid steaming.
6. Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes without moving it, until the edges turn opaque and you can easily lift it with a spatula.
7. Flip the salmon fillets carefully using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
8. While the salmon cooks, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl, mixing until smooth.
9. Remove the salmon from the griddle and let it rest on a plate for 2 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
10. Spoon the lemon garlic butter over the warm salmon fillets, letting it melt and coat the surface.
11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Very flaky and moist, this salmon pairs wonderfully with a crisp salad or roasted veggies—the lemon garlic butter adds a bright, savory note that elevates the whole dish. I often serve it over quinoa or with crusty bread to soak up every last bit of that delicious butter sauce.

The Blackstone griddle gives it an incredible sear while keeping the salmon tender inside.

Cedar Plank Blackstone Salmon with Dill
My husband and I discovered this method on a camping trip in the Pacific Northwest, and now it’s our go-to for effortless, smoky salmon that feels like a restaurant-quality treat without the fuss. Soaking the cedar plank is key—it steams the fish from below, keeping it incredibly moist while infusing that woodsy aroma we love.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 30 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cedar plank (about 12 inches long), soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning
– 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each), skin-on or skinless based on your preference

– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

5. Place the soaked cedar plank directly on the preheated griddle and let it heat for 2 minutes until it starts to smoke lightly.
6. Arrange the seasoned salmon fillets on the hot cedar plank, leaving space between them for even cooking.
7. Cover the griddle with a lid or a large metal bowl to trap the steam, and cook for 12–15 minutes, checking at the 10-minute mark—the salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
8. Remove the plank from the griddle using tongs, being careful as it will be hot, and transfer the salmon to a serving platter.
9. Garnish with the lemon slices for a bright, fresh finish.
Delightfully flaky and infused with a subtle smokiness, this salmon pairs beautifully with a crisp salad or roasted veggies for a light meal. For a creative twist, try serving it over a bed of quinoa with a drizzle of lemon-dill sauce—it’s become our favorite summer dinner on the patio!

Blackstone Salmon Burgers with Avocado Aioli

Blackstone Salmon Burgers with Avocado Aioli
Just last weekend, I was craving something fresh yet hearty for a quick weeknight dinner, and these Blackstone salmon burgers with avocado aioli totally hit the spot—they’re juicy, flavorful, and come together in no time, making them a new staple in my kitchen.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skin removed and finely chopped (or use pre-ground salmon for convenience)
– 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, to help bind the patties
– 1 large egg, lightly beaten
– 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, or substitute with parsley if preferred
– 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, for a tangy kick
– 1 tsp lemon zest, from about 1 lemon
– 1/2 tsp kosher salt, adjust based on your taste
– 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
– 1 tbsp olive oil, or any neutral oil for cooking
– 4 burger buns, lightly toasted
– For the avocado aioli: 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 small garlic clove minced, salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped dill, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, kosher salt, and black pepper. Gently mix with your hands until just combined—overmixing can make the burgers tough.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a 3/4-inch thick patty, pressing lightly to hold together. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up, which prevents them from falling apart on the grill.
3. While the patties chill, make the avocado aioli: in a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth, then stir in the mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside covered at room temperature.
4. Preheat your Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat to 400°F, then add the olive oil and swirl to coat the surface evenly.
5. Place the salmon patties on the hot griddle and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the exterior is golden brown and slightly crispy—avoid flipping more than once to keep them intact.
6. Lightly toast the burger buns on the griddle for about 1 minute per side until warm and slightly charred.
7. To assemble, spread a generous layer of avocado aioli on the bottom bun, top with a cooked salmon patty, and add the top bun.
Creating these burgers yields a delightful contrast: the patties are moist and flaky with a hint of lemon, while the creamy aioli adds a cool, tangy balance. I love serving them with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple green salad for a complete meal that feels both indulgent and wholesome.

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 400°F, which takes roughly 5 minutes—you can test it by sprinkling a few water droplets; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
2. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear, then rub them evenly with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper on all sides.
3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on) on the hot griddle and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown; for skinless fillets, cook the presentation side first.
4. Flip the salmon carefully using a spatula and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
5. Transfer the cooked salmon to a plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while you prepare the tomatoes.
6. Reduce the heat to medium and add the halved cherry tomatoes to the same griddle, cut-side down, cooking them for 2–3 minutes until they soften and start to char slightly, releasing their juices.
7. Stir in the prepared pesto and lemon juice with the tomatoes, heating for 1 minute until warmed through and well combined.
8. Spoon the pesto-tomato mixture over the salmon fillets and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Creating this dish always brings a smile to my face—the salmon stays moist and flaky, while the pesto adds a herby richness that pairs perfectly with the sweet, burst tomatoes. Serve it over a bed of quinoa or with crusty bread to soak up every last bit of sauce.

Blackstone Salmon and Sweet Potato Hash

Blackstone Salmon and Sweet Potato Hash
There’s something about a hearty breakfast hash that just feels like a warm hug on a chilly morning, and this Blackstone Salmon and Sweet Potato Hash has become my go‑to weekend treat—it’s the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and crispy that even my picky eater kids devour without a fuss.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1‑inch cubes (fresh or thawed frozen works)
– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½‑inch cubes (about 3 cups)
– 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 3 tbsp olive oil, or any neutral oil like avocado oil
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– 1 tsp smoked paprika
– ½ tsp garlic powder
– ½ tsp dried thyme
– ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, optional for a kick
– Salt and black pepper, to season throughout
– 4 large eggs
– Fresh parsley or chives, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium‑high heat (about 375°F) for 5 minutes until hot.
2. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil onto the griddle, then add the diced sweet potatoes in a single layer—this ensures they crisp up evenly without steaming.
3. Cook the sweet potatoes for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown on the edges.
4. Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the griddle, then add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the empty space.
5. Sauté the onion and pepper for 4–5 minutes until softened and slightly charred, then mix them with the sweet potatoes.
6. Season the vegetable mixture with smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, cayenne pepper (if using), and a pinch of salt and black pepper, stirring to coat evenly.
7. Move the vegetables to the cooler edge of the griddle, then add the butter to the center and let it melt.
8. Place the salmon cubes in the buttered area and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until opaque and flaky—avoid overcooking to keep it moist.
9. Gently fold the cooked salmon into the vegetable hash, then create four small wells in the mixture using a spatula.
10. Crack one egg into each well, cover the griddle with a lid or aluminum foil, and cook for 3–4 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
11. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and serve immediately.
Unbelievably satisfying, this hash delivers a delightful contrast of crispy sweet potatoes against the tender, buttery salmon, with the runny egg yolks tying it all together. I love serving it straight from the griddle with a side of toasted sourdough or a simple arugula salad for a complete brunch spread.

Blackstone Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze

Blackstone Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze
Cooking on my Blackstone griddle has become a weekend ritual—it’s where I turn simple ingredients into something special, like this sweet and savory salmon. I first tried this brown sugar glaze on a whim when I had extra salmon fillets and a craving for something sticky and caramelized, and now it’s a go-to for easy entertaining or a cozy family dinner.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin-on or skinless based on preference
– 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, for a deep molasses flavor
– 2 tbsp soy sauce, or tamari for a gluten-free option
– 1 tbsp olive oil, or any neutral oil like avocado oil
– 1 tsp garlic powder, adjust to taste if you love garlic
– 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground for best aroma
– 1/4 tsp salt, or skip if using salty soy sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, around 400°F, ensuring it’s evenly hot by sprinkling a few water droplets—they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a crispier sear without steaming.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until the sugar dissolves completely into a smooth glaze.
4. Brush the glaze generously over both sides of each salmon fillet, reserving about 2 tablespoons for basting later to avoid burning the sugar.
5. Place the salmon fillets on the hot griddle, skin-side down if using skin-on, and cook for 5–6 minutes until the edges turn opaque and you can easily slide a spatula underneath.
6. Flip the salmon carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for 4–5 minutes, basting with the reserved glaze during the last 2 minutes to build a shiny, caramelized crust.
7. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part—the salmon should flake easily and reach an internal temperature of 145°F on an instant-read thermometer.
8. Remove the salmon from the griddle and let it rest for 3 minutes on a plate to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping it moist and tender.
Earthy and rich, this salmon boasts a sticky-sweet glaze that caramelizes into a glossy finish, with tender, flaky flesh inside. Serve it over a bed of quinoa or with roasted asparagus for a complete meal, or flake it into tacos with a squeeze of lime for a fun twist—it’s versatile enough to shine at any table.

Trust me, once you try this combo, it’ll become your go-to for quick, impressive meals.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle or a large skillet to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
  2. Place the salmon fillet on the hot griddle and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Tip: Don’t move the salmon too early—let it develop a nice sear for maximum flavor.
  3. Transfer the cooked salmon to a plate, let it cool for 2 minutes, then use a fork to flake it into small pieces.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the corn, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and salt to make the salsa. Stir gently to mix.
  5. Add the flaked salmon to the salsa bowl and toss lightly to combine, being careful not to break up the salmon too much.
  6. Brush one side of each tortilla lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush or your fingers.
  7. Place one tortilla, oiled-side down, on the griddle over medium heat (about 350°F).
  8. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  9. Spoon one-quarter of the salmon and corn salsa mixture over the cheese.
  10. Top with another 1/2 cup of cheese, then place a second tortilla on top, oiled-side up. Tip: Press down gently with a spatula to help the layers adhere as it cooks.
  11. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip using a large spatula. Tip: If cheese starts to ooze out, use the spatula to tuck it back in to prevent burning.
  12. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  13. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and repeat steps 7-12 with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  14. Let each quesadilla rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Here’s what makes these quesadillas truly special: the salmon stays tender and flaky against the crispy tortilla, while the corn salsa adds a sweet, tangy crunch that cuts through the richness. I love serving them with a dollop of cool sour cream or sliced avocado on the side—it’s the perfect balance of textures that makes every bite irresistible.

A sizzling Blackstone griddle transforms simple salmon into a restaurant-worthy meal in minutes, and when paired with a vibrant chimichurri sauce, it becomes my go-to for impressing guests without spending all day in the kitchen. I love how the high heat creates that perfect crispy skin while keeping the inside tender—it’s a trick I learned from a fisherman friend during a summer in Maine.

6. Carefully flip each salmon fillet using a spatula and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer.
7. While the salmon cooks, combine 1 cup parsley leaves, ¼ cup cilantro leaves (if using), 3 garlic cloves, ¼ cup red wine vinegar, ½ cup olive oil, ½ tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp dried oregano in a food processor.

10. Serve the salmon immediately, topped generously with the chimichurri sauce.

Crispy-skinned salmon meets the herby punch of chimichurri in this dish, creating a texture contrast that’s simply irresistible—the flaky fish practically melts against the bright, garlicky sauce.

6. Stuff each bell pepper evenly with the salmon-quinoa mixture, pressing down lightly to pack it in.
