Start to finish: 1 hour, 15 minutes (15 minutes active)
Servings: 4
Ingredients
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 quarter-pound salmon filets, skin on
• Parsley and lemon wedges
Directions
1. Mix all of the ingredients — except the salmon, parsley and lemon wedges — in a bowl.
2. Place the salmon filets in a large freezer bag and pour half of the marinade in. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible and marinate in the fridge for 1 to 3 hours.
3. Preheat the barbecue. Oil the grill using a silicone brush.
4. Put the salmon filets directly on the grill, skin side up. Close the barbecue cover and let cook for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets.
5. Flip the filets, and brush the remaining marinade on the fish. Close the barbecue lid and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes.
6. Place the filets on a plate, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for about 5 minutes.
7. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges, and serve with a green salad.
