Sockeye Salmon Marinade

Sockeye salmon has been one of the few fish we’ve been able to convince our children to eat over the years.  

Sockeye salmon ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon filets (6 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
     
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
Sockeye Salmon Marinade
  • Place all marinade ingredients into a gallon size zip lock bag and seal. Squeeze gently to combine ingredients, then add salmon fillets. Seal and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours to allow flavors to penetrate the fish.
  • Preheat grill to medium high heat. For each salmon fillet, take a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil and fold into a “dish” with sides. Place a salmon fillet into each dish skin side down. Add a little of the marinade on top and place the entire dish on the grill.
  • Grill for 15-18 minutes with the lid closed. Flip the salmon onto the grill to sear the top, about 1-2 minutes. Carefully scrape off the skin (it should lift right off) and serve.

I have some kind of mental block against serving this salmon without something green beside it.  Other than that, anything goes.
