Dark Balsamic, Soy and Honey Glazed Grilled Northwest Salmon

This unusual salmon marinade makes for an exceptionally moist and delicious final product. Two guests remarked tonight that it's the best salmon they've ever had. You might not normally be tempted to try these ingredients together, but if you're looking for a change from ordinary grilled salmon... which is certainly delicious on its own... give this one a try and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Ingredients


Preparation

Wash and prepare salmon.

I strongly recommend fresh King salmon, if you can get it, for this dish. Whisk vegetable oil, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, honey and soy sauce until mixed well (emulsified).

In a large airtight recloseable (ziploc) bag, carefully place the salmon. Add marinade. Marinate in fridge for 1-3 hours (do not overmarinate... you still want to primarily taste the salmon).

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

Turn down heat to medium-low.

Grill salmon, skin side down, COVERED for about 7-9 minutes until you can do moist flakes (see photo). Take salmon off grill.

Tip: Leave the skin ON the grill if it's adhered (which it probably has), you'll generally be able to get the salmon off, whole, without it breaking if you don't try to get the skin off. Fortunately, you really don't want to eat it anyway; let it burn off for a bit and scrape it off.

You may have best success removing the thinner pieces of the salmon progressively (so they don't overcook) and serving the thicker pieces last.

I marinade it for an hour and baked it for 35 min at 350 degrees in a pan covered with foil. It was really good. I tried it with the low sodium soy sauce and had to add a little salt in the end. I will use the regular soy next time.

My kids loved this. It came out sweet and they begged me to make this again. I was in shock!

The first time I tried this recipe I had to substitute red wine vinegar for the balsamic and Maple syrup for the honey. I am making it a second time and have the balsamic vinegar but really liked the maple taste.

Fantastic recipe. I would have to agree that this is perhaps the best Salmon I've ever tasted.

I made a 1/2 recipe tonight for the two of us and baked it in the oven. We thought it might be a little salty because of the soy sauce, but it wasn't at all. Very delicious and moist. A recipe that I'll make over and over again. I marinated it for only an hour.

Delicious recipe.

Had this again the other night -- Wild King Salmon really is the best fish to use for this recipe. Delicious!

stevemurstevemur : : 2:00 total time : 0:20 active time : review posted 1y 30w 6d ago.


I didn't have honey or brown sugar, so I substituted a little maple syrup instead. It was a great way to add some flavor to the salmon!

This is my first recipe that I make here. It was wonderful!

I sould have added I cooked mine of a Cuisinart Gridder.

Beautiful!

I strongly recommend fresh King salmon, if you can get it, for this dish.

I preheated the grill on high, then turned all burners to low. 14 minutes on the grill. Great flavor!

hanan@homehanan@home :  : review posted 2y 29w 2d ago.


This was outstanding! I grilled it on a cedar plank, and the flavor was incredible. The glaze really seemed to pick up the cedar flavor.

My wife and I both enjoyed this salmon. I will be looking for a lower sodium soy sauce before making it again though.

Also great with fresh Coho salmon

jennifermeyer54jennifermeyer54 : : 0:05 active time : review posted 3y 5w 2d ago.


Marinated the fresh, wild King salmon just 20 mins and it seemed to work out just right. Cooked for about 12 mins, skin side down, on indirect heat on a grill. All four guests enjoyed it. Really terrific flavor!

I'll make this again.

A very tasty recipe.

petrapetra :  : review posted 3y 28w 5d ago.


This recipe is really good! I was short on time, so I didn't marinade the salmon. I put all the ingredients and salmon (fillet with no skin) in a 9x13 and baked it until done. It turned out great! I can't wait to make it marinaded and grilled.

Tasty, yet subtle.

My kids both willingly ate this - that's pretty rare. I'd like to try the marinade on some different fish, or perhaps on chicken. But the salmon was fabulous.

WOW!

I used 10 yr aged balsalmic with Lyle's Golden Syrup('cus I was out of honey) and a dark molassas brown sugar, I also added some apple wood to the fire. WOW!!! SUPERB!!!
