Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat. Preheat your grill to 450 degrees F for direct heat grilling.
  • Season. Season your salmon fillets with Sweet Rub on all sides, except for the skin.
  • Oil the grill. Fold a paper towel into quarters and pour the avocado oil into a shallow bowl. Pinch the folded paper towel between your tongs and dip into the bowl of oil to saturate the paper towel. Brush the saturated paper towel on top of the hot grill grates to coat the grates.
  • Grill the salmon. Place the seasoned salmon on the oiled grill grates, flesh side down. Close the lid and grill for 5 minutes.
  • Glaze. Use a thin, metal fish spatula to flip the salmon skin side down. Baste the salmon filets with the maple bourbon glaze and close the grill lid. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon reads at 145 degrees F internal temperature.
  • Serve. Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to your serving platter. Enjoy!
