Nutritional Information (Per Serving)

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the BBQ

🔥 Heat your BBQ to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s ready to grill the salmon to perfection.

Step 2: Prepare the Salmon

🥄 In a bowl, combine the olive oil and Dijon mustard, mixing them thoroughly. Dip each salmon fillet into the mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly.

Step 3: Season the Salmon

🍬 In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle this flavorful spice blend onto both sides of the salmon fillets, pressing gently to ensure the spices adhere well.

Step 4: Grill the Salmon

🍽️ Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the preheated BBQ. Grill for approximately 4 minutes on each side for 1-inch thick fillets, or until the salmon just begins to flake when tested with a fork. Adjust the grilling time based on the thickness of your fillets and your preferred level of doneness.

Serving Suggestion

🍋 Serve the Cinnamon Brown Sugar BBQ’ed Salmon Steaks hot off the grill, perhaps with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad. A squeeze of lemon juice over the top can add a lovely brightness to the dish.
