For the salmon rub: Mix together the salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, smoked paprika, dehydrated lemon powder and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl.
For the salmon and oranges: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
Spray both sides of the salmon with olive oil spray, then season both sides with some of the rub. Transfer the remaining rub to an airtight container and store at room temperature. Use it to season chicken, shrimp or fish.
Spray the grill grates with olive oil spray and place the salmon fillets on the grill. Cook, turning once, until the salmon registers an internal temperature of 120 to 123 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes per side depending on your desired temperature.
While the salmon is grilling, add the orange halves to the grill cut-side down and cook until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
For the chimichurri: Stir together the olive oil, parsley, vinegar, basil, oregano, salt, garlic and chile in a medium bowl. Squeeze the juice from the grilled orange halves into the chimichurri and stir to combine.
Serve the salmon fillets with the chimichurri and pickled red onions.
Cook’s Note
Use internal temperature as a guide for doneness. Use all your senses to let you know when to remove them from the grill. BBQ is about feel, sight, smell and temperature.
