Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Marinade
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon filets
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup orange marmalade
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Thickening Mixture
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, orange marmalade, minced garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar until well combined, creating a flavorful citrus marinade.
- Thicken the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry. Slowly add this to the marinade mixture in the saucepan while stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside half of the marinade for glazing later.
- Prepare the Salmon for Grilling: Lay the salmon filets skin side down on cedar planks or a well-oiled grill grate. Season each filet with salt and pepper. Brush half of the prepared marinade generously over the tops of the salmon fillets to infuse them with flavor.
- Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon on a preheated grill over medium-high heat. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, applying indirect heat if using cedar planks to prevent burning.
- Serve: Transfer the grilled salmon filets to serving plates. Brush the reserved marinade over the top of each filet for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet and tangy grilled salmon.
Notes
- This salmon recipe is infused with a bright lemon, lime, and orange marinade that gives it a sweet and tangy flavor.
- Using cedar planks helps impart a subtle smoky and woodsy aroma to the salmon, but a well-oiled grill works well too.
- Brush the salmon with the marinade both before and after grilling for maximum flavor and moisture.
- Make sure to watch grilling time closely to avoid overcooking and drying out the salmon.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
