Double K Grilled Salmon Recipe

Double K Grilled Salmon Recipe Double K Grilled Salmon Recipe photo by Taste of Home Rating 5

There’s a little story behind the name of my favorite salmon recipe: When my husband, Kevin, and I couldn’t find a spicy teriyaki-style marinade to our liking, we created one in and named it Double K—for Krista and Kevin. Every time we make this flavorful fish, we get asked how we do it.

I couldn't taste any spiciness which was good for my kids (who ate it up!). We all thought it was really good though. If I were to make it just for adults, I would increase the hot sauce.

The only way I will grill salmon now. Would not change a thing on the marinade.

This recipe is amazing! The only complaint by my family was that I didn't make enough. The flavor is fantastic, and the fish comes out tender. I will definitely be making this time and time again.

I cooked this on the stove since I didn't want to mess with the grill. The marinade is so yummy, I'll be trying it with pork and chicken next!

Loved this recipe. Made it over the Memorial Day weekend. I think this marinade would be good with pork or chicken, too. I didn't change a thing.

I absolutely LOVED this recipe. I made it for Easter Dinner with the in laws and it was a hit. I did not add the hot pepper sauce because I don't like spicey AND it was still fabulous. Thank you for sharing this with us. I will continue to make it.
