This Cajun Grilled Salmon Recipe gives one of our favorite fish a bit of heat and a lot of flavor. This is a great grilled salmon all by itself or as fish tacos or pretty much anything you want to put a great Cajun salmon in to.

Great grilling rub for salmon, Member sonyarosebower

My whole family LOVED this! I substituted creole seasoning for the spicy cayenne pepper since I have 2 young boys. Even my 12 year old asked for more and he does not like salmon! I will keep the extra seasoning in a bag in the freezer for future use!
