Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup Alaskan Amber beer
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Alaskan Amber beer, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring the fillets are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill, oven, or skillet to medium-high heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing the excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the marinade in a small saucepan for a glaze if desired.
Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side if grilling or pan-searing, or bake for 12-15 minutes in the oven, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
If making a glaze, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in the saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Brush the glaze over the cooked salmon before serving.
Serve the Alaskan Amber Salmon with your favorite side dishes, such as garlic roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy your flavorful, beer-marinated salmon!
