Marinated Grilled Salmon Fillets

Marinated Grilled Salmon Fillets balance rich, buttery fish with a glossy soy and brown sugar glaze that caramelizes on the grill. Hints of lemon pepper and garlic add warmth and brightness, letting the salmon shine without overpowering it. Serve for a relaxed weeknight dinner or a summer cookout when you want clean, balanced flavors with a lightly charred finish.

    Gather all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Season the salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt.

    Stir the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Place the fish in a large resealable plastic bag; add the soy sauce mixture, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
