This grilled salmon with lemon is easy to toss together for a flavor-packed fish with a succulent, flaky texture. Make the marinade in the morning, and by evening, you'll be ready to grill up a fish that'll blow everyone's taste buds out of the water.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons snipped fresh dill or 3/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 salmon fillet (1-1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons chicken broth
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
2 onion slices, separated into rings
Instructions
1Season the salmon
2Sprinkle the dill, lemon-pepper, salt and garlic powder over the salmon fillet.
3Prepare the marinade
4In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the brown sugar, broth, oil, soy sauce and green onions. Carefully add the salmon to the bag, seal it, then turn it to coat the salmon evenly. Put the bag in a large bowl and refrigerate it for one hour, turning it once.
5Grill the salmon
6Heat the grill to medium. Drain and discard the marinade. Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down, with the lemon and onion slices arranged over the top. Cover and grill the salmon for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Editor's Tip: If you don't have a grill, don't worry, just use your broiler instead. Place the fillet on a greased broiler pan. Broil it 3 to 4 inches from the heat for six to eight minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
