"Red Robin's grilled blackened salmon might seem like a delightful fish dish, but looks can be deceiving. This seafood entree earned a spot on Tasting Table's list of menu items to avoid ordering at Red Robin and with good reason. Per Tasting Table's assessment, this is one underwhelming dish that often arrives at your table overcooked and tasting bland. While salmon isn't always the easiest to prepare, it seems that Red Robin's attempts to dress up the dish fall short."
"One Instagram review calls the fish "the driest piece of salmon I've eaten in the last five years," adding that the blackening spice "tastes like nothing." The reviewer does note that both the broccoli and potatoes that accompany the fish are adequate; however, it doesn't say much about the star entree if the sides are the best thing on the plate."
Red Robin's grilled blackened salmon frequently arrives overcooked and lacking seasoning, producing a dry, underwhelming entree. Diners report the blackening spice as muted and the fish as unusually dry. The accompanying broccoli and potatoes are generally adequate but do not compensate for the poorly cooked salmon. Preparing a blackened salmon at home offers control over spice blend, cook time, and sides, and can yield superior results for four portions in under 15 minutes. A standard dried-spice blend including pepper, oregano, and cayenne enhances blackening, while roasted garlic Parmesan broccoli elevates the side dishes.
