Grilled Salmon
This is an Ina Garten recipe, you KNOW I love her and you KNOW her recipes are always perfect. The fact that there is only 4 ingredients makes this the easiest dish ever – I didn’t change a thing – it tastes amazing!
ingredients:
3 salmon filets about 2-3 pounds
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
6 Tablespoons olive oil
1 clove minced garlic
In a small bowl mix the dijon, soy sauce, olive oil and garlic. Place the salmon in a pan and pour the sauce over it.
Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for just 15-20 minutes. Ina’s recipe says 10 mins, but I’ve found that just a touch longer (not too much) is perfect.
While the salmon is marinating, prep your grill. I used an indoor grill cause it’s all I had, and it worked just fine.
Take the salmon out of the pan and place on the hot grill, skin side down. (Throw away the marinade, people! We don’t food poisoning up in here.) Depending on how thick the fish is, grill for about 5-8 minutes before flipping it over. I suggest using a large flat spatula so the salmon won’t break up. Once flipped, grill for another 5-8 minutes. Let the fish rest for about 10 minutes before you serve.
I’ve found that this recipe is great hot or cold, it’s just so tasty and good quality fish makes all the difference too, of course. The kids love this and always ask for seconds – which is all any mother could ask for!
thanks jenn!
i am trying to eat more fish, but as a former vegetarian, i have no idea how to cook it or how long to marinate for!
this looks awesome!
(and i think you should totally try to kick some butt with donut cupcakes on cupcake wars.)
I love these plates. Where did you find them?
I made this last night for dinner. Delish!
