- 1 lb salmon fillets, skin-on for extra flavor

Blackstone Salmon with Garlic Parmesan Butter
Whipping up a quick, flavorful dinner has never been easier with this Blackstone Salmon recipe. Perfect for those busy weeknights when you crave something gourmet but simple.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs salmon fillets, skin-on (I find the skin gets extra crispy on the Blackstone)

- 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin is my go-to for its fruity notes)
- 1/2 tsp salt (I like using sea salt for its clean taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground makes all the difference)
Instructions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, about 375°F. A properly heated griddle ensures a perfect sear.
- While the griddle heats, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Dry salmon means better browning.

- Place the salmon skin-side down on the griddle. Cook for 4 minutes without moving to get that crispy skin.

- Remove the salmon from the griddle and let it rest for 2 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute.
Amazingly tender salmon with a crispy skin and rich, garlicky butter makes this dish a standout. Serve it over a bed of arugula for a peppery contrast or with roasted potatoes to soak up all that delicious butter.
