Directions

1 side fresh salmon, boned but skin on (about 3 pounds)

Ingredients

For the marinade:

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons good soy sauce
6 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking.

While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.

Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits.

Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

This is the first time I made salmon for my husband who "doesn't like fish." We absolutely loved it! He was scooping up the... last of the marinade with bread. It went great with an asian salad. Fabulously delicious meal that cooks in no time at all!! Read more

This was really good.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I never rate a recipe unless I follow the recipe exactly, which I did. This was wonderful. I only had a small piece of salmon... for dinner so I reduced the amount of marinade. I boiled the salmon as in Chicago it was a bit too cold to fire up the grill. Enjoy this. It's wonderful. Read more
