How to Make Texas Roadhouse Salmon?

Step 1:

First up, preheat your grill pan to medium-high heat. grill is better, but since I don’t have one currently I will only use my grill pan, its work too.

Step 2:

Next, In a small bowl, mix what I call a “magical blend” of brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3:

Now, take those gorgeous salmon fillets and rub them lovingly with the spice mixture. Make sure each fillet gets coated generously.

Step 4:

Drizzle a touch of olive oil over the seasoned salmon fillets to add a hint of moisture.

Step 5:

Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill pan and let them sizzle away for 4-5 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them, as you want the salmon to be perfectly cooked through and flake easily with a fork.

Step 6:

As the salmon nears perfection, it’s time for the sauce, the barbecue sauce. During the last minute of cooking, brush a thin layer of the sweet sauce onto the salmon fillets. You can use as much as you want, I prefer to use just enough for a hint of sweetness without overpowering the other flavors. And Let the sauce caramelize slightly.

Step 7:

Once your salmon is cooked, it’s time to plate up. You can enjoy it alone or pair it with some companions like mashed potatoes, your favorite vegetables, or a sauce of your choice. Personally, I love serving it with some rice and air-fried carrots and green beans, of course, The options are endless, you can serve your Texas Roadhouse Salmon meal with any other dishes, and If you have some better options, tell us in the comment section below.
