Grilled Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze

This grilled salmon is simply irresistible. I dare say it’s the best I’ve ever had. The brown sugar glaze makes for a perfect marinade, striking a delightful balance between salty soy sauce and the sweetness of brown sugar, all infused with the flavors of garlic and lemon. What better way to welcome spring?

Pair this salmon with rice, fresh steamed or grilled veggies, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal that’s sure to impress your family and friends.

How to make grilled salmon

Begin with seasoning the salmon all over with salt and pepper.

Next, in a small bowl, create the marinade by mixing together soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil until the sugar is completely dissolved. Coat the salmon with the soy sauce mixture, then place it in a large casserole dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning the salmon once during this time.

Preheat the grill for cooking over medium heat.

Lightly oil the grill rack. Place the marinated salmon on the preheated grill and cook for about 8 minutes on each side until it’s cooked through.

Remove the salmon from the grill and serve immediately. Serve it alongside rice, fresh steamed or grilled veggies, or roasted potatoes.
