- 1 batch salmon marinade Get the marinade recipe here
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients.
- Pat each fillet dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish or on a tray. Use a pastry brush or spoon to coat the salmon thoroughly with the marinade.
- Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer if you have time). You can refrigerate it while marinating.
- Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon skin side up and cook for 5–6 minutes without moving it. Then flip gently and grill the other side for 3–4 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
