I used Zataran's Brand of Creole seasoning and we all agreed it was very salty. I've used the seasoning before in small amounts. If I make this again I would problably use much less of the Zatarans a more other stuff to thin it out.

I didn't care for this recipe. It might have been better on a cedar plank. Thanks.

Flavorful but tough to grill salmon without drying it out. Thicker cuts are better.
