Such deliciousness.
Such happiness.
Simply divine salmon for Sam.
I have to say this was one of the BEST salmon marinades I have made.
Last night was my son Sam's 21st birthday so we grilled up a 3 1/2 pound salmon fillet…AND six of us ate all of it. (Not to mention all the grilled veggies, salad and homemade chocolate cake!)
My family voted it the best ever marinade.
A couple of tips for fantastic grilled salmon.
1. Marinate, marinate and did I say marinate? A good two hour block works great.
2. Preheat Grill to about 325.
3. Oil the grill racks. (So the fish will not stick)
4. Get grilling. Cook salmon each side for about 6-8 minutes. Don't fuss with the salmon. Leave it. When the timer goes off…(and if you are like me I get so distracted it need one!)…turn it. Close the lid. Leave it. In the three minutes glaze with extra marinade. (Let it get nice and crispy.)
5. Do not overcook. Remember salmon keeps cooking even after you remove it from the grill.
6. To test for doneness, touch the fish: if it's "squishy," it's not done, but if it's firm with some give, it is medium rare, the recommended doneness for salmon.
Delish!
