The Best Way to Grill Salmon
High quality wild caught salmon isn’t cheap and nothing is worse than over cooking it. I understand completely how you might hesitate to try a new method of cooking, like grilling.
I was right there with you for a very long time.
As in I never would risk grilling salmon, because there simply were too many variables that made grilling risky.
Until I got my Ninja Foodie Grill.
Hands down, my Ninja Foodie Grill is our very favorite small appliance and we can’t imagine life without it. We use it several times a week and it’s completely changed the way we look at grilling.
The Ninja Foodie Grill makes grilling so much less intimidating and makes it so much easier since you can grill right in your kitchen!
And it’s so much less messy than stove top cooking, too. Plus there’s virtually zero smoke!

I’ve grilled TONS of salmon in our Ninja Foodie Grill and it’s been consistently wonderful grilled on HIGH for 15 minutes for 4-6 ounce salmon filet pieces.
Whether it’s a simply seasoned salmon filet or this Keto Firecracker Salmon, the best way to grill salmon is in the Ninja Foodie Grill!
The Ninja Foodie Grill is a lot more than just a grill. It’s a 5 in 1 appliance that will also air fry, roast, bake and dehydrate!
Where can you buy Wild Caught Salmon?
Here’s the thing. We all “know” salmon is super healthy, right?? But what most people fail to realize is that wild caught salmon is the healthiest.
Farmed salmon is notoriously bad for our environment AND due to the way that the salmon are fed makes them too high in omega 6s.
You want to ONLY spend you money on salmon that is chock full of Omega 3s and that’s what you’ll get with wild caught salmon.
If you don’t have a local fish monger who stocks high quality wild caught seafood, I strongly recommend Vital Choice. Not only for their delicious wild caught salmon but also their huge selection of other healthy seafood as well.

How to Make Keto Firecracker Grilled Salmon Recipe
This Keto Firecracker Grilled Salmon Recipe is an explosion of deliciousness in your mouth. It’s one of those recipes that even people who shy away from salmon, will ask for seconds.
You’ll make a marinade/sauce using a few basic Asian-inspired ingredients:
- coconut aminos
- Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener
- Sriracha Hot Sauce
- garlic
- fresh ginger
- toasted sesame oil
- sea salt
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Skin side up, marinate your salmon filets in the firecracker sauce for a few hours, but ideally overnight. Longer = more flavor!
Then preheat your Ninja Foodie Grill on high. Grill your salmon for 15 minutes, skin side down. Do NOT flip them!! Let that skin get nice and crispy.
While your salmon is grilling, transfer the marinade into a small skillet or sauce pan and reduce it over medium heat until it’s reduced by roughly half.
Drizzle the thickened firecracker sauce over your grilled salmon right before serving.
To make it look ultra fancy, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve this Keto Firecracker Grilled Salmon with your favorite low carb vegetable, we like to use zucchini noodles.
This Grilled Salmon Recipe would also be delicious served with my Marinated Asian Sesame Cucumber Salad on the side or some of my Keto Asian Sweet & Spicy Mayo Sauce Recipe, too!
No matter what, just promise you’ll try this recipe. I know you will LOVE it!
Yours in Health,
Keto Grilled Firecracker Salmon
