Tender Grilled Salmon


The big bag of salmon fillets was on sale at Costco a few months ago so I splurged and bought it.  I haven't cooked salmon at home for years.  Ben doesn't like fish so I usually reserve it for when we eat out.  But man, this is good stuff.  I've made this twice in the past month and I even convinced my kids to try it.  Bryce loved it.  This recipe requires some forethought as you have to let the salmon marinate for some time.  I like to let it sit in the juices overnight.

Tender Grilled Salmon

1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
lemon pepper to taste
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

Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt.

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.

Preheat grill for medium heat.

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 broiled mine in the oven.  I set the salmon on an elevated rack on top of my broiler pan and cooked it for about fifteen minutes, flipping half way through.
