Cooking Tips

• Make sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking.
• If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of cumin and paprika in the spice mixture.
• For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the spice mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling.
• To check if the salmon is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily, it is done.
