Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the heated grill, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm alongside your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
