Photo: Kid-Friendly Salmon Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- Freshly ground pepper
- 4 5-to-6-ounce wild salmon fillets, skin removed
Directions
Combine 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the soy sauce, lemon juice, onion, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and pepper to taste in a bowl or large resealable plastic bag. Add the salmon and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably most of the day.
Preheat the broiler and line a broiler pan with foil. Place the salmon on the foil (reserve the marinade) and brush with vegetable oil. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque. Meanwhile, strain the marinade and simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat until slightly reduced. Serve the salmon with the sauce on the side.

My family thought this recipe was okay. My kid didn't actually like this as much as but I think it's more because they don't particularly care for salmon. I liked the recipe and taste. I did make a couple of modifications-added additional brown sugar to create a thicker marinate; also brushed salmon with butter instead of vegetable oil since I like the butter flavor better. All in all a solid dish.

I did this one and got rave reviews from my parents! Although Next time I would make extra marinade set aside for making sauce, although they said the sauce is not necessary, since the salmon itself stands well on its own! Put this recipe in your next cookbook, Melissa! It Rocks! (I have your current one already!
