Not all fish belongs on the grill, you know. Those wimpy, flaky little white fish so wonderful in other cooking just crumble (literally!) at the touch of an open flame. Sure, you can take various precautions to gentle them into flame-worthy goodness, but you know what else works? Salmon.

Beautiful salmon, with its meaty texture and relatively high omega-three fat content: It’s always juicy; it holds itself together in a crisis; it’s always available when you need it. It’s like the Anderson Cooper of grillable fish.

Health experts recommend eating fish 2-3 times a week, especially if you’re prone to heart disease. So you’ve got to mix up your grilled salmon recipes.

Fortunately, that’s not hard at all: there are more options than Green Eggs and Ham. You will love it glazed, or citrus; you will love it sweet, or herbed. Wrap it up, stick it on skewers, or keep it simple: you really can’t go wrong.

Glorious Glazed Salmon

The ingredients in this glaze work together with the flame to coat your salmon with scrumptious sweet-and-sour flavor. Glorious, indeed.

Spice-Rubbed Salmon

A dry rub is another way to add flavor without adding the extra layer of sauce, and this simple rub works magic.

Salmon Hobo Packs

Bundled safely in foil and piled with veggies, the salmon stays extra moist — and easy just got easier.

Grilled Rosemary-Salmon Skewers

Here’s an herby twist on the ol’ stick-it-on-a-stick trick. Tres chic.

Grilled Trout Stuffed with Lemon and Herbs

This recipe can also be done with coho salmon, and it looks very show-offy!

Spiced Cider Salmon

Some prep-time in a brine takes this salmon into fantastic realms.
