This tender and flaky fish is wonderful to serve to family and friends. A savory marinade that includes dill gives the salmon mouthwatering flavor and since it can be grilled or broiled, you can enjoy it all year round!

Lemon Grilled Salmon Recipe

Prep: 10 min. + marinating Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

10 15 25

Ingredients

2 teaspoons snipped fresh dill or 3/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 salmon fillet (1-1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons chicken broth
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
2 onion slices, separated into rings

Directions

Sprinkle dill, lemon-pepper, salt if desired and garlic powder over salmon. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the brown sugar, broth, oil, soy sauce and green onions; add salmon. Seal bag and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning once.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill salmon skin side down, over medium heat; arrange lemon and onion slices over the top. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Yield: 6 servings.

Editor's Note: Salmon can be broiled instead of grilled. Place the fillet on a greased broiler pan. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 6-8 min. or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

I have been making this for several years and truly is the BEST salmon recipe I have ever had. You won't be disappointed.

I had been trying many salmon recipes when I found this one. My family told me to stop looking...this one was a keeper!

We make this all the time exactly as recipe calls. Last time we made it, we tried it in the oven- not the same. I do not recommend the oven for this recipe (in the oven, the fish is much less firm and the flavors aren't nearly as strong in the oven either)

This was delicious. I didn't have any salmon with me so I used Pollock and it was still fantastic. The flavor was such that I think it could also be used for chicken and other meats. This is definitely worth giving a try.

I make this recipe often. I marinate it overnight for best flavor. I served it to guests last weekend and they said it was the best salmon they've ever tasted!

My husband and I are always looking for new ways to prepare salmon, as we always have great salmon on hand living in the Pacific Northwest.

I did marinate mine for 3 hours, to give more flavor to the salmon. I didnt feel that 1 hour of marinating made a real change in flavor.

We baked ours in the over, uncovered at 375 for about 35 minutes, and it turns out perfect!

Absolutely delicious. Very easy too make (We broiled it). If you don't count the marinating time it was also very quick.
