5 Ingredient Marinated Grilled Salmon

Ingredients

  • 3 lb. side of salmon,
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic )
  • 1/3 cup olive oil,
  • 1 Tbsp minced parsley )

Directions

  1. Set the salmon on a cutting board with the skin facing down, then slice it crosswise into 6 evenly sized pieces. Move the portions to a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, arranging them skin side down.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, mustard, garlic and olive oil until the marinade looks smooth and fully blended. Reserve about 2 Tbsp of the mixture, then spoon the rest over the salmon and spread it across the tops. Leave the salmon at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  3. While the salmon rests, heat the grill to medium-high, about 400 degrees. Scrub the grates clean, then brush them with oil.
  4. Arrange the salmon on the grill with the skin side down and cook for about 4 minutes. Turn the pieces carefully, rolling them over if that feels easiest, and cook for another 4 minutes, or until done to your liking.
  5. Take the skin off the salmon, transfer the pieces to plates, and brush them with the reserved 2 Tbsp marinade. Serve warm, with parsley on top if you’d like.
