This Ninja Grilled Salmon recipe is flaky and delicious and includes an easy homemade sweet and salty salmon rub.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 lb salmon filet
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Salmon Rub
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Make Rub: Combine all of the rub ingredients in a small bowl and combine.
- Season: Cut the salmon in half so it will fit on the Ninja Grill. Brush both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with rub.
- Heat Grill: Set the Ninja Grill to the grill function. Set the heat to high and the time to 20 minutes.
- Grill: Place the filets on the grill skin side up. Grill for 5-6 minutes. Flip. Grill for 8-10 minutes to an internal temperature of 145F degrees. Remove from the grill and serve.
Notes
The grill time is set to more time than is needed, so the grill doesn’t turn off, just in case the cook time takes a minute or so longer than expected.
If using the Ninja Woodfire Grill, you can add smoke flavor by pressing the Woodfire Flavor Technology button after selecting the grill cook function.
If you cut the filet into smaller 2-3-inch size serving portions, you will likely need to reduce the cook time by 2-3 minutes, because the pieces will cook faster.
