How to Make Barbecue Roasted Salmon
- In a large resealable bag, combine 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets.
- Seal the bag tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally.
- Remove salmon fillets from the bag; discard the marinade.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Coat the salmon fillets evenly with the spice mixture.
- **Oven Method:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange fillets in a lightly oiled baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- **George Foreman Grill Method:** Preheat your George Foreman grill. Place salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
