Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 ounces each) Alaskan salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). If using a gas grill, brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. This will be your marinade and glaze.
Step 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the fillets, reserving a small amount for basting later.
Step 4
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill skin-side down (if the skin is attached). Grill for about 4-5 minutes on the first side.
Step 5
Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and grill for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking the fish.
Step 6
In the final minute of grilling, brush the reserved marinade over the salmon for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. Pair with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh summer salad for a wholesome meal.
