How To Make Grilled Salmon?
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients for easy access.
- Season Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt to taste.
- Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade, seal, and turn the bag to coat the fish thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Grill Salmon: Place the marinated salmon on the preheated grill, discarding any leftover marinade. Cook the salmon for 6-8 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Plate the grilled salmon and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
- Marinate Long Enough: For the best flavor, let the salmon marinate for at least 2 hours. This allows the seasoning to deeply infuse the fish.
- Use Fresh Salmon: Fresh, high-quality salmon will give the best taste and texture. Avoid previously frozen fish if possible for optimal flavor.
- Oil the Grill Grates: Lightly oil the grill before cooking to prevent the salmon from sticking and to ensure easy flipping.
- Check Doneness Carefully: Salmon cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it. It’s ready when it flakes easily with a fork—avoid overcooking to keep it moist.
- Discard the Marinade: Don’t reuse the marinade that touched raw fish. Discard it before grilling to ensure safe and fresh flavors in your dish.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover grilled salmon cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Let the salmon cool completely, then wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator overnight before serving.
