🥄 Marinade

  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tbsp brown sugar
  • 1½ tbsp soy sauce (sub: tamari for GF)

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions (5 Easy Steps) 📝

  1. 1. Prep Salmon: Pat fillets dry, check for bones, set aside → Ready for flavor!
  2. 2. Make Marinade: Whisk olive oil + brown sugar + soy sauce + lemon zest + Dijon + parsley + thyme + salt + pepper + garlic → Zesty marinade!
  3. 3. Marinate: Coat salmon in marinade, let sit 10-15 min (or up to 1 hr in fridge) → Flavor infusion!
  4. 4. Grill: Preheat grill to medium (400°F). Grill salmon skin-side down 6-8 min, flip, cook 2-3 min (135°F internal) → Smoky perfection!
  5. 5. Serve: Rest 2 min, garnish with parsley, serve with lemon wedges → Gourmet delight!

⏰ Timing Hack: Prep marinade while grill preheats – saves 5 minutes!
