Sometimes I can’t handle the taste of fish, but when I tried this Mexican Grilled Salmon, I was a believer in salmon. It is so easy to make, and it tastes amazing grilled. It’s perfect for fish tacos, sandwiches, or just to eat plain. Enjoy!

This. Salmon. Is. Amazing!
I live in a snowy state so can’t always grill. How would this be baked? What would be your recommendation for baking temp and time? Thanks!
This is delicious! My husband isn’t a big fan of salmon, but he knows we should have it. This is a salmon dish he said was over the top, and told me to put the recipe some place where I could find it again. And find it again I will. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jo,
We are so glad that your husband liked the salmon. Yippee! Thanks for stopping by our blog and we hope you’ll be back. Have a great week!
Would you follow the instructions the same way if you were going to do this in a cast-iron skillet?
You could definitely cook this in the skillet. You’ll need to watch it closely where it’s different than the grill. Just be sure the center of the fish is flaky and cooked all the way through. Continue basting the fish with the spice mixture with every flip of the fish.
Easy and delicious – my kind of meal!
