A rich and flavorful grilled salmon recipe infused with a delicious marinade, perfect for any occasion.
Equipment
- Skillet or grill
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 6 pieces salmon fillets (4-6 ounces each)
- 5 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp parsley leaves chopped
- 2 tsp thyme leaves chopped
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade for later use. Add minced garlic to the remaining marinade.
- Place salmon fillets in the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and let excess drip off. Place fillets on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side.
- Flip the fillets and grill for another 5-6 minutes until they are opaque and flaky.
- Brush the reserved marinade on the salmon just before removing it from the grill.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley or lemon slices if desired.
