Salmon Marinade Recipe
This Salmon Marinade Recipe is the best easy marinade for flavorful grilled or oven-baked salmon.
Equipment
- measuring cup
- whisk
- Ziptop bag
- baking dish
- grill
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds salmon either 1 single portion (side of salmon) or 4 (6-ounce) fillets
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry and place in a ziptop bag.
- In a measuring cup with a spout or mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Pour over the top of the fish.
- Seal the bag, removing as much excess air as you can, then set in a dish or on a plate to catch any possible drips. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
- Cook the salmon, using your preferred method. OVEN: Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and place the salmon in the center. Bake at 400°F for 11 to 14 minutes for 6-ounce fillets or 15 to 18 minutes for a single side. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes.
- GRILL: Place the salmon skin-side down on a HOT grill. Let cook without disturbing until the salmon releases easily with a spatula, about 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook on the flesh side, about 2 to 4 minutes more. Remove to a plate and let rest 5 minutes.
Notes
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight storage container for up to 2 days. Very gently rewarm salmon in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat or in the microwave. Freeze salmon in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months.
