Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Jack Daniels whiskey
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Jack Daniels whiskey, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 3-5 minutes on the other side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Brush the fillets with the reserved marinade during the cooking process to enhance the flavor.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the salmon fillets to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added citrusy kick.
Enjoy your Jack Daniels Grilled Salmon!
