Perfect Grilled Salmon


PREP TIME TO MARINATE

Recipe found HERE 



1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
Lemon pepper seasoning, to taste
garlic salt, to taste
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced
Pinch of red pepper flakes

Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper.

In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, broth, vegetable oil, garlic and red pepper flakes until sugar is dissolved.

Place fish in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow container with a lid. Add the soy sauce mixture, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Use Pam Grill Spray before preheating grill, or lightly oil grill grate. Preheat to medium heat.

Place salmon on the preheated grill, skin side dowb. I basted them one time on the grill before discarding the marinade. Cook salmon for 5 to 7 minutes per side, may need less time for thinner pieces, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Plan on about 10-14 minutes total cooking time for every inch of thickness (and add about 10 minutes for each additional inch). I find it's easiest to flip on the grill using a large, flat, metal spatula vs tongs so the salmon doesn't fall apart.
