Hot & Spicy Salmon Experiment.

Salmon happens to be one of my personal favorites off of the BGE. I'm quite fond of really hot and spicy stuff as well. As such, I thought why not. I covered some of the salmon with a very healthy dose of cayenne just to see how it would turn out. I left one piece just lightly coated for the wife. This actually turned out incredible. I coated lightly with Paul Prudhommes blackening seasoning and then poured the cayenne to it. Cooked indirect at 550 degrees for 7 minutes to the second. This is on the to do again list for sure. Hope that yall enjoy my friends and may your hair continue to grow long and shaggy.

    The wife gets credit for those. I refuse to assemble anything that doesn't have meat in it ;) Thanks for the kind words my friend.

    Just a friendly word of caution, it's a tad warm. Careful who you serve it to if they are heat intolerant. And thank you for the kind words my friend.

    We use a habanero rub that a friend makes on salmon.  The 2 of us go through 3 or 4 pounds of salmon a week and this is the only way I cook it.  Salmon with a wallop is tops on the list around here.

    I appreciate the caution on the heat.  Will serve to those I know love real heat and will weed out the others. :). Thank you.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Never figured you for Salmon. Looks fantastic and the flavor profile flair sounds like some decent heat with deep flavor. Nice work Scottie!

    Actually I have probably posted more salmon than anything else. We cook it at least once a week. Thank you for the kind words my friend.

    I find the cayenne to be just right. Not to hot, but a little kick. And thank you my friend.

    Brother Husker you are the second person to seemed surprised that I cooked salmon. With that said, if you look back I have probably posted more salmon than anything else. We cook it at least once a week. It's honestly one of my very favorites off of the egg. And as always, thank you for the kind words my friend.

    The 4 pieces that I covered with cayenne is King Salmon, the other piece is Sockeye. And thank you brother of the North.

    Having recently discovered salmon on the BGE, it has become amongst my personal favorites. 
    Having seen this cook you have done with spice, will send my butt back to Costco as soon as I get back from the road!
    This. Is. Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

    Brother it was fantastic. This will be my go to method in the future. Just a word of caution, if you are heat sensitive you may want to throttle back on the cayenne a tad. It's fairly warm. And thanks for the kind words.

    Blackened redfish is incredible. Look up Chef Don Prudhommes method. It's simple and about as good as it gets.
