Tips & Substitutions
For best results, marinate the salmon for at least two hours to enhance the flavors. If you don't have Beau Monde seasoning, a mix of equal parts celery salt, onion powder, and pepper can work well as a substitute. Consider adding a splash of soy sauce for an umami twist. If grilling isn't an option, bake the marinated salmon at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
This grilled salmon pairs beautifully with a side of Potato Salad With String Beans for a fresh and vibrant meal. For a refreshing drink, serve with Margaret'S Tropical Punch. You can also top the salmon with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon before serving for added brightness.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the salmon in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid using the microwave as it can make the salmon rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of fish for this marinade?
Yes, this marinade works well with other fish like trout or tilapia. Just ensure to adjust the marinating time based on the thickness of the fish fillets, as thinner fish may require less time.
What can I serve with grilled salmon?
Grilled salmon pairs well with a variety of sides. Roasted vegetables, a light salad, or even a creamy risotto can complement the flavors nicely. Don't forget to try it with Mom'S Cranberry Sauce for a tangy contrast.
How can I tell when the salmon is done cooking?
Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F. Keep an eye on it while grilling to avoid overcooking, which can lead to a dry texture.
