Citrus Herb Salmon on the Blackstone Grill: Zesty Skillet Recipe

Blackstone Citrus Herb Salmon is a fresh, healthy, and flavorful griddle recipe.

A bright citrus-herb vinaigrette seasons the salmon and doubles as a dipping sauce when serving.

How to make Blackstone Citrus Herb Salmon

This recipe uses four skin-on salmon fillets and a mix of citrus and fresh herbs. I used lemon, orange, and grapefruit along with fresh thyme, dill, and rosemary. The fillets are cooked skin-on and the skin easily peels away before serving.

Using a microplane or zester, grate about 2 tablespoons total of citrus zest from the lemon, orange, and grapefruit. Add the zest to a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, kosher salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and about 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs.

Squeeze about 1/4 cup total of citrus juice from the lemon, orange, and grapefruit (combined). Whisk the juice with the oil, mustard, zest, herbs, and seasonings until evenly combined to form the vinaigrette.

Reserve a few spoonfuls of the vinaigrette for serving. Brush more of the vinaigrette onto the salmon and season lightly with kosher salt and pepper. If you like, slice some of the citrus to char and use as a garnish.

Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-low. Add a little cooking oil and place the salmon fillets skin-side down. If using citrus slices, place them on the griddle to lightly char for garnish.

Cook the salmon for about 7 to 9 minutes total, flipping a few times to promote even cooking. Brush more of the citrus vinaigrette on the fillets as they cook to build flavor and gloss.

When the salmon is cooked through and flaky, remove it from the griddle. Peel off the skin if desired, and serve with the reserved vinaigrette for dipping.

Bright, fresh, and versatile

Blackstone Citrus Herb Salmon delivers bright citrus notes and herbaceous freshness that pair well with a wide range of sides. Steamed or roasted vegetables, a simple green salad, or a light grain like quinoa make excellent accompaniments to keep the meal healthy and balanced.
