Grilled Wild Salmon
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 side wild sockeye (if you can find isalmon fillet skin on, pin bones removed
- ½ cup preserves
- ½ tsp salt
Marinade
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce or fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Whisk marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place salmon on foil, skin side down, and pour marinade evenly over top. Let salmon sit in marinade for no more than 10 minutes, or it will cook without you.
- Smear preserves on flesh side from tip to tail and place salmon on grill. Salmon is perfectly cooked when the fat begins to turn white at the tail end. Remove from heat so as not to overcook.
Notes
NOTE: If you’re pressed for time or have run out of steam at dinnertime, as I often do, simply season salmon with salt in place of marinade and smear with preserves.
