the only way I'll eat grilled salmon.



I found this recipe off of allrecipes a few years ago, and OH MY GOSH. It's the only way my husband and I will eat salmon anymore. YUM! If you have some good quality salmon near you and live in a grill-able place.. you have to try this. It reminds me of bourbon chicken, and the soy sauce helps get rid of the "fishy" flavor that salmon has. 

1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets, skin/bones removed (I use 2-3 small fillets for the 2 of us)
lemon pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1/3 cup soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil (I use a 1-2 tbsp of olive oil to make it healthier)


Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper seasoning and garlic powder.

In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and 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. [The longer you marinade the better it tastes, I let mine marinate for atleast 8 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 like to add a little more lemon pepper and garlic powder during grilling.
