marinated grilled salmon

Grilling marinated salmon is easy! The marinade is simple to whisk up and it infuses the tender fish with savory flavor.

Grilled Marinated Salmon

salmon

soy sauce (or tamari)

olive oil

water

rice vinegar

sugar

Dijon mustard

garlic, grated

salt

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees).

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, water, rice vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, and grated garlic.

Place the salmon in a large dish or container skin side up, and pour in the marinade. Marinade for at least 30 minutes at room temperature (or up to 3 hours refrigerated; if so, allow to sit at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking).

After marinating, place the salmon on a baking sheet. Brush it liberally with the marinade, then discard the remaining marinade. Sprinkle with the kosher salt (split between the fillets) and fresh ground pepper.

Grill the salmon over indirect heat skin side up for 3 to 5 minutes, until grill marks appear and it releases from the grates. Flip and cook another 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until flaky and just pink at the thickest portion and the internal temperature is 125 to 130 degrees. (Salmon varies in thickness, so the cook time is different based on each piece of fish.) Allow to rest for a few minutes, then serve.

This was a great way to make salmon. I really wondered about the mustard, but it all went together well! I used a copper mat on my grill so I didn't have to worry about anything falling through the grates.

Salmon fillets are infused with a honey and soy marinade then grilled, creating a sweet and savory glaze. Read the tutorial above on how to grill salmon for the best results.  Plan ahead as the salmon needs to marinate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Honey Glazed Grilled Salmon

pounds salmon

gluten free tamari or soy sauce

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

3 Tablespoons light honey, local if possible

Tablespoons olive oil

minced

Cut the fish into 2-4 pieces. (see notes above)

Mix the tamari, lemon juice, honey, olive oil and garlic together in a glass measuring cup. Mix to dissolve the honey completely.

Pour the marinade into a pan large enough to hold the fish.

Add salmon, turn to coat both sides. Marinate skin side up for 1 &#8211; 24 hours.

Remove salmon onto plate, allowing excess marinade to drain off for 15-30 minutes. Scrape off marinade from the flesh.

Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and simmer 3-4 minutes on medium low until slightly thickened. You will use this to baste salmon while cooking and as a sauce to serve.

Preheat your grill to medium 400°. If your grill is very hot use medium low.

Scrape the grill using a grill brush. Oil the grates with a rag or paper towel dipped in oil.

Brush the salmon with oil, then place it onto the grill, flesh side down (skin side up).

Close the grill. Cook for 3 minutes undisturbed until seared and the flesh releases. Turn over carefully with a fish spatula.

Brush the top with additional marinade and close the lid. 

Cook for 4-6 minutes, basting one more time halfway through, or until the internal temperature is 120 °F (medium rare). If you like it more well done 130°

Transfer salmon to plate, separating the skin from the flesh.

Top with a little marinade/sauce, serve the rest on the side.
