Ingredients

Instructions

  • Make the rub and sauce. If you have some of my Spicy Sweet Rub and Hot Honey BBQ Sauce on hand, then you can skip to the next step. If you’re making your own, I recommend doing so ahead of time. The rub is ready right away, but I like to allow the sauce to cool overnight in the refrigerator before using. There are links to both recipes and products in the notes section below.
  • Preheat the grill. Set your grill up for two-zone grilling, with an overall temperature of 350 degrees F.
  • Oil the grill grates. Dip a folded paper towel in avocado oil and brush it lightly across the grill grates to coat them in oil.
  • Season the salmon. Liberally sprinkle the salmon with the Spicy Sweet Rub, If you’re using skinless fillets, you can season on both sides. Just be careful when doing so as fish can be delicate.

  • Grill the salmon. Place your salmon fillets directly on the oiled grates over the indirect heat side of your grill, then close the lid. Allow the salmon to cook for 12-15 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of around 130 degrees F.
  • Drizzle the sauce. Drizzle a healthy layer of the Hot Honey BBQ Sauce on your salmon fillets, then use a basting brush to ensure everything is coated. Close the lid, and continue cooking the salmon for another 5-10 minutes. You want the sauce to be slightly tacky, and for the salmon to read an internal temperature of 145 degrees F in the thickest part of the salmon using a reliable instant-read thermometer.

  • Serve and enjoy. Remove your grilled salmon fillets to a platter, serve with your favorite salad or side, and enjoy.
