How to Serve Texas Roadhouse Salmon
Texas Roadhouse Salmon tastes great on its own but pairs well with various side dishes. Serve it with a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or rice to create a satisfying meal. Squeezing fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving adds an extra burst of flavor.
How to Store Texas Roadhouse Salmon
If you have leftover salmon, let it cool completely first. Store the salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven or microwave until warmed through. It may not have the same crispy texture but will still taste delicious.
Tips to Make Texas Roadhouse Salmon
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t overcook the salmon; it should be slightly pink in the middle.
- You can marinate the salmon in the olive oil mixture for up to an hour before grilling for even more flavor.
- If you prefer, you can bake the salmon in the oven at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes instead of grilling.
Variation
For a different flavor profile, try adding honey or maple syrup to the marinade for a sweet and savory taste. You can also experiment with other seasonings like lemon pepper or dill.
