A delightful recipe for grilled salmon with a tangy citrus glaze, perfect for summer gatherings.
Prepare the glaze by combining the minced garlic, melted butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Place the salmon fillets in a zip-lock bag and pour the glaze over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
Marinating the salmon enhances its flavor and keeps it moist during grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, basting with the remaining glaze.
Use a basting brush to apply the glaze evenly.
Serve the grilled salmon hot, garnished with lemon slices and fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
