Perfect Marinated Grilled Salmon
This grilled salmon is everything: sweet, savory, citrusy, and impossibly juicy with crispy edges and tender flakes. A simple marinade of lemon, herbs, and a touch of sweetness transforms these filets into a summer-worthy showstopper. Ideal for cookouts or quick weeknight dinners that impress.
Ingredients
2 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
3 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1 tsp lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley (plus more for topping)
1 tsp kosher salt
Black pepper to taste
4 (4–6 oz) skin-on salmon filets
Instructions
Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Marinate: Place salmon in a shallow dish or bag and pour marinade over. Let sit for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours in the fridge).
Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Oil the grates. Grill salmon skin-side down for 5–6 minutes, then flip and cook 2–3 more minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Finish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Bright, flavorful, and grill-perfect — this salmon is your go-to for effortless elegance on a plate.
