Makes 6 servings
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Ready: 2 hours 30 minutes
Shopping List:
- 680 gr or 1½ pounds salmon fillets
- lemon pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- salt to taste
- 80 ml or ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 75 gr or ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 80 ml or ⅓ cup water
- 60 ml or ¼ cup vegetable oil
TO MAKE:
- Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
- In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable 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.
- 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.
Serve with [new] potatoes or pasta and a green salad.
Note 1: You can also use ⅓ cup lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon black pepper instead of the lemon pepper. Cut the soy sauce to ¼ cup to lessen the salt flavor and use only 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to cut calories. Also spray the grill plate with vegetable oil to keep the salmon from sticking.
Note 2: When you don’t have a grill, like I do, just make a little foil packet for each fillet and close it up, leaving a little room for air to circulate inside. If you bake the foil packets on a cookie sheet at 220° C or 425° F for about 15 minutes [slightly longer depending on number of fillets], the salmon cooks to perfection every time! This is a great recipe to use when preparing salmon in foil packets… it poaches gently in its own juices and always comes out so tender and delicious!
