Grilled Salmon

Grilled Salmon


Many times I find salmon on the reduced rack at our local grocery store.  This recipe has become a favorite of my family.  It is quick and easy to make and tastes delicious. 

Ingredients:


1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
lemon pepper to taste (I just add the juice of one lemon and several dashes of pepper)
garlic powder to taste
salt to taste
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions:

  1. Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil until sugar is dissolved. Place fish in a large resealable plastic bag with the soy sauce mixture, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  3. Preheat grill for medium heat.
  4. Lightly oil grill grate. Place salmon on the preheated grill, and discard marinade. Cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.  (I actually grill my salmon on a piece of foil.  It still grills nicely, and if it starts to flake sooner that the time allowed, it will not fall through the grates on the grill.  I usually do 3 - 4 minutes per side because the salmon I get is not very thick.)
  5. Do not overcook your salmon.
