Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Marinade
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon filets
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup orange marmalade
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Thickening Mixture
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, orange marmalade, minced garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Thicken the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water together to make a slurry. Slowly stir this mixture into the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Grill the Salmon: Preheat the grill to medium-high. Lay the salmon filets skin side down on cedar planks or a well-oiled grill grate. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Brush half of the thickened marinade generously over the tops of the salmon.
- Cook the Salmon: Grill the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through, brushing with marinade occasionally.
- Serve: Transfer the grilled salmon to plates and brush with the reserved marinade on top for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe offers a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors from the triple citrus marinade, elevating the natural taste of salmon.
- Using cedar planks infuses a subtle smoky flavor and helps prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill.
- For best results, do not overcook the salmon; it should remain moist and flaky.
- Can be served with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
