ASIAN GRILLED SALMON

I apologize in advance for the poor picture.  I realize everything kind of blends together.  To be honest I was not going to blog this recipe but I took my first bite and well.....it was blog worthy!  So take my word for it, this was so simple and super delicious!  Enjoy!


ASIAN GRILLED SALMON



For the marinade:

  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 6 tablespoons good olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 juiced lemon
  • S &P
Directions:

  1. Rinse salmon with cold water and pat dry
  2. Next combine all marinade ingredients by whisking together
  3. Drizzle half of marinade over salmon and allow it to sit in fridge for 15-20 min.
  4. Turn grill on medium-high and brush grilling rack with olive oil to prevent salmon from sticking
  5. Place salmon on hot grill and grill about 4 min. on each side depending on thickness
  6. Discard the marinade the salmon was sitting in
  7. Carefully remove salmon from grill, let rest 5 min., and drizzle with remaining marinade.

This recipe makes enough marinade for about 4 - 6oz. servings of salmon.  We enjoyed our salmon with a sweet potato, parsnip hash. Delicious!

ENJOY!  Eat Well & Be Happy!
