Grilled Salmon with Buffalo Glaze and Blue Cheese Coleslaw!
I’m a huge fan of grilled salmon, something I make all year long on my outdoor grill or using a stove-top grill pan when it’s too cold to grill outside. And while I do have some favorite grilled salmon recipes that I make over and over, I’m always thinking about how to add a new twist to salmon cooked on the grill.
So recently when I got a bit obsessed with Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (affiliate link) and Blue Cheese Coleslaw, this idea for Grilled Salmon with Buffalo Glaze and Blue Cheese Coleslaw popped into my mind, and it was a total winner! I loved the way the spicy buffalo glaze on the salmon was cooled down by the creamy coleslaw, and even though some people say cheese doesn’t go with fish, we thought the crumbled blue cheese on top of the salmon was the perfect finishing touch.
How to Make Grilled Salmon with Buffalo Glaze and Blue Cheese Coleslaw:
(Scroll down for complete recipe with nutritional information.)
- Preheat clean oiled grill while you let salmon come to room temperature.
- Brush salmon with olive oil, season with Szeged Fish Rub, (affiliate link) and brush the fish on both sides with the Buffalo sauce glaze.
- Spray or brush the hot grill with oil again (carefully!) right before you put the fish on, then cook salmon on an angle to the grill grates for 2-3 minutes, rotate and cook 2-3 minutes more.
- Turn salmon to the other side, brush with remaining glaze, and cook 3-4 minutes more (until the salmon is barely firm to the touch.)
- Serve salmon over Ridiculously Easy Blue Cheese Coleslaw (or other slaw or salad), sprinkled with some crumbled blue cheese.
- We absolutely devoured Buffalo-Glazed Grilled Salmon with Blue Cheese Coleslaw when we tested the recipe; hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

You can cut that recipe in half if you don’t want to have leftover slaw, or serve the salmon over another coleslaw or salad of your choice.

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Blue cheese is a limited food for South Beach, but if you use my trick of mixing buttermilk with blue cheese dressing to lighten it up (and use a moderate amount of blue cheese sprinkled over the fish) I would eat this for any phase of the original South Beach Diet. It would also be approved for most other low-carb eating plans.

Think like we're definitely on the same page. I also find joy in grilled foods. And this recipe of yours is a great one. Can't wait for the weekend and spend it with my family. Might be trying to make this one. 🙂
Hope you enjoy!
This looks incredible!! I'm also a huge fan of Buffalo anything, partially because it's my hometown, but mostly because it's so flavorful! I love the idea of making salmon this way…and that slaw – yum! Thank you so much for the link love!
Faith, my pleasure. Your food always looks good to me!
Love the idea of Buffalo flavors on the salmon. And salmon is my favorite fish to cook on the grill, too.
Thanks Lydia; the buffalo glaze was so good on the salmon!
Can't eat fish but I might try this with chicken?
I think you could adapt this to work for chicken. I might marinate the chicken for a few hours first, then brush with the glaze when you cook it.
This looks so amazing, I really feel like eating salmon right now. 🙂
Thanks, hope you enjoy!
