Sweet, savory warmth with just the right kick for salmon.

Sweet Heat Salmon Seasoning™ is crafted to complement rich salmon with a balance of gentle sweetness, savory spice and lingering heat.

Sweet paprika creates a warm foundation, while Sucanat caramelizes beautifully as the salmon cooks. Black pepper and cumin add savory warmth, finely crushed red pepper brings the heat, and a touch of Bensdorp cocoa adds dark, roasted depth—not chocolate flavor. The result is savory first, gently sweet and finished with a warm kick, creating a beautifully seasoned, caramelized crust.

How to Enjoy

Sweet Heat Grilled Salmon

• 4 salmon fillets

• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 2–3 Tbsp Sweet Heat Salmon Seasoning™

• 1–2 Tbsp honey, optional

• Lemon wedges, for serving

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush salmon with olive oil and season generously. For a sweeter caramelized finish, lightly brush with honey.

Place salmon skin-side down on the grill. Grill approximately 8–10 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon is just cooked and flakes easily. Most fillets can cook entirely skin-side down with no flipping needed.

Remove from the grill and serve with fresh lemon wedges.

Tip: Because both Sucanat and optional honey caramelize quickly, watch for flare-ups and avoid prolonged direct flames.

Also delicious on salmon bites, shrimp, steelhead, chicken and roasted vegetables.
