Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the used marinade.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets on the heated grill, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Carefully remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 7

Serve warm alongside your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
