Tender Grilled Salmon puts salmon fillets, Lemon pepper seasoning and soy sauce at the center of a seafood recipe and finishes in about 133 minutes, enough for 6 Servings.

• Yield 6 Servings
• Ready in 133 minutes
• Prep 125 minutes
• Cook 8 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets (preferably skinless)
• Lemon pepper seasoning (to taste)
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup oil (like vegetable, canola, or olive oil)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2-3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Season salmon fillets on both sides with lemon pepper.
2. In a bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water (or broth), oil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) until sugar is dissolved.
3. Place the salmon in a large ziploc bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top, coating the salmon evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
4. Preheat grill to medium heat.
5. Clean the grates well and lightly coat in oil. Grill the salmon (discarding excess marinade) for 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the flesh looks opaque. Plan on about 10-14 minutes total cooking time for every inch of thickness (and add about 10 minutes for each additional inch).
6. Alternately, the salmon can be baked (or grilled in foil).
7. Grill for about 15 minutes or bake in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes (again, exact time will depend on the thickness of the salmon).

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
