Marinated Salmon Filet
Serves 4
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Refrigeration time: At least 6 hours
Ingredients:
• 4 salmon filets
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1⁄4 cup honey or 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Tools:
• 1 baking dish
Directions:
-
Simmer and stir together soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), and mustard until well combined
-
Cool and pour into a baking dish
-
Lay salmon into the dish and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours; marinade should be approximately 1 inch deep
-
Grill as follows:
• Bring to high heat
• Cover cooking area in tin foil (shiny side up)
• Lay filets down approximately an inch apart
• Close grill cover and DO NOT OPEN for 5 minutes
- Remove salmon from grill when it has turned opaque and falls apart with a fork (approximately 2 more minutes)
Notes:
• For the marinade, “the longer the better is the marinating motto”; however, diminishing returns after 1 hour
• You do not have to cook the marinade. Brown sugar dissolves more easily than honey.
