Grilled Salmon

Step 1

Place the olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk to combine.

Step 2

Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade in the refrigerator for later use. Add the garlic to the bowl.

Step 3

Add the salmon to the bowl of marinade. Spoon the marinade over the salmon and cover the bowl.

Step 4

Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the marinade and scrape off any excess bits of herbs or garlic (otherwise they could burn on the grill!).

Step 6

Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium high heat. If you're using an outdoor grill, be sure to thoroughly coat your grill grates with vegetable oil.

Step 7

Add the salmon fillets and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until salmon is opaque throughout.

Step 8

Brush the reserved marinade over the salmon fillets, then serve.
