100% would make this recipe for Dark Balsamic, Soy and Honey Glazed Grilled Northwest Salmon again.

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.

Dark Balsamic, Soy and Honey Glazed Grilled Northwest Salmon Ingredients

3 pounds Salmon skin on one side; fresh King Salmon works best for this recipe2 tablespoon Brown sugar
3 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar 1 tablespoon Honey
1/4 cup Vegetable oil 2 1/2 tablespoon Soy sauce

Instructions for Dark Balsamic, Soy and Honey Glazed Grilled Northwest Salmon

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.

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

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 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.

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!

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.

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.
