Marinated Grilled Salmon Recipe

Flaky, juicy grilled salmon infused with a savoury soy, Dijon, and garlic marinade, cooked with a perfect sear and finished with a fresh herb glaze.

Ingredients

• 3 lb. side of salmon, skin on or same weight of fillets

• 3 Tbsp. soy sauce

• 2 Tbsp. dijon mustard

• 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic (1 large clove)

• 1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing grill

• 1 Tbsp. minced parsley (optional, for looks)

Instructions

1. Lay salmon skin-side down on a cutting board and cut salmon crosswise into 6 equal portions, transfer to a 13 by 9-inch baking dish skin side down.
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mustard, garlic and olive oil until mixture is emulsified (fully comes together).
3. Set aside about 2 Tbsp. of the marinade mixture then spoon and spread remaining mixture over salmon, let rest at room temperature 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile preheat grill over medium-high heat to about 400 degrees F. Clean grill grates and brush with oil.
5. Place salmon on grill skin side down and cook about 4 minutes, then carefully flip (I sort of roll it) and continue to cook another 4 minutes or to desired doneness.
6. Remove skin from salmon then plate and brush remaining 2 Tbsp. marinade mixture over salmon.
7. Serve warm garnished with parsley if desired.
