How to Make Grilled Salmon with Pineapple Sauce
![](https://www.agourmetfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Spiced_Salmon.jpg)
Step 1 – Prepare your grill and your fish. I prefer to grill salmon on a perforated griddle covered with aluminum foil and I set my gas grill to 400 degrees F.
Spray the foil with cooking spray. Place the salmon on top of that, skin down. Mix the dry rub spice with salt and pepper and apply to the salmon.
Grill the salmon until done, internal temperature should be 145 degrees F. I am using my favorite tool for that (Meater).
Step 2 – Make the pineapple sauce. This is a simple step. Transfer pineapple, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, pepper flakes, salt & pepper to a blender and blend until you have a sauce.

Step 3 – Divide the salmon into 2 fillets and pour some of the sauce over the fish. Serve the rest in a separate bowl.
