I will be posting these cast iron blog posts on Fridays.
I love grilled fresh salmon. My husband not as much because he said growing up his Mom made salmon patties, and grilled salmon and more salmon every week. I remember my Grandma on the farm would keep canned salmon on hand to make patties with. I do like those too. Now I look for a quality sourced salmon or tuna in cans to keep on hand in my pantry.
I could eat salmon every week if I found fresh at the grocery store. So now when I have a taste for it I grill it up in cast iron for me and prepare Larry something different.
I have learned to always start grilling with the skin side down-I needed to remember to do this and it does make a difference. A cast iron skillet or grill pan is perfect for salmon-either out on your grill or on top of your stove-gas or electric. (I am learning to cook with this electric stove, reminding myself electric is just a different heat source opposed to over fire)
I checked on the web for instructions on grilling salmon in cast iron and recipe ideas. This is a really nice site for lemon garlic salmon. I like my salmon grilled simply and I like the touch of lemon and garlic in this one

I like this recipe too Brown Butter Honey Garlic Salmon-sweet and sticky
This one you need to scroll down through different links but I like the idea of the browned butter This link also shares sides and using ghee instead of butter, what honey to use etc.
I think these are both good sounding grilled salmon recipes.
For sides a fresh salad, or fresh veggie in season steamed or grilled. We keep our meals very simple these days with less to no carbs at our main meal. I did find this site on Delish with over 30 side dishes for grilled salmon-just click on the photo gallery for the recipes.
How do you like to grill your salmon?
