GRILLED SOY BROWN SUGAR SALMON IN FOIL

It’s been a while since I shared this recipe for garam masala salmon steaks on here, which is surprising since we eat salmon often at our house.  I love to pan-sear individual fillets in my cast-iron skillet, or cook it in the oven as a sheet pan meal.  But one of my favorite methods for preparing salmon is wrapping it in foil and grilling or baking it.  And this soy brown sugar salmon that is perfect for the summer grilling season is one of the best grilled salmon recipes ever.
I distinctly remember the first time I ever had salmon cooked on the grill in foil.  It was at a family reunion in southern Utah when I was in high school and it was the most delicious, flavorful salmon I had ever eaten.  I’m positive I was the kid going back for second and third helpings, eating way more than my fair share of that delicious grilled fish.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds salmon with skin on
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Parsley, chopped for garnish
• Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl.  Place the salmon in a large zip-tight bag or shallow glass baking dish and add the marinade, turning to coat the fish entirely.  Seal tightly or cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours.
2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.  Take a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and remove the salmon from the marinade, laying it skin side down in the center of the piece of foil.  Fold the long sides up and then over themselves, repeating with the short sides, to create a sealed packet containing the salmon. 
3. Transfer the foil-wrapped salmon to the hot grill over indirect heat not directly over the flames and close the grill lid. Cook for 15-18 minutes until almost entirely cooked through.  Brush the grill grates directly over the flames with a little oil, then carefully open the foil packet and using one of the long edges of the foil, and flip the salmon directly onto the grill grates over direct heat to char the top. Grill just until cooked through, and grill marks appear (1-2 minutes) being careful not to overcook, the use two large spatulas to remove the salmon from the grill.
