Best Grilled Salmon Recipe in the World

And that's just what this is. My little sis, Kilee, makes this better than I did, but oh it is ever yummy. I think the trick is to just under-cook it. I know, sounds bad, but it's salmon so it won't hurt you. Just don't over-grill it, like we did, or it will taste dry. Marinate it for at least 8 hours for best flavor. It's summer--whip out that BBQ and make this tonight! Even if you don't like fish, I dare you to try this one--you might just change your mind.

Grilled Salmon Recipe Ingredients

8 salmon fillets
Best Salmon Marinade Ingredients

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
5 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3 teaspoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger (I have done both fresh grated ginger and the ground ginger spice, I personally like the spice better)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, more or less to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 green onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced

Place salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag. In a separate medium bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients. Whisk together well, and pour over the salmon in the plastic bag. Remove the air from the bag and seal tightly. Marinate the salmon fillets in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.


Wrap the salmon fillets tightly in aluminum foil. Spray the inside of the aluminum foil with non-stick cooking spray before adding the salmon. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the salmon for 15 minutes per inch of thickness on a medium hot grill, or until salmon just flakes with a fork. Turn salmon over halfway through grilling.



After you try this grilled salmon recipe, I think that you will agree that it is the best grilled salmon recipe you have ever tasted. You will never make grilled salmon differently again.

Quick Easy Kid Meal

I'm sure many of you do this meal already, but I wanted to post it for those of you who don't! Not only does it easy, but it's super-cheap and my kids love it! My mom made this for us all growing up, so it being Mother's Day this weekend, this post goes out to her. Call it what you like, but we call it. . .

Egg Bread

All you need are eggs and bread!

Cut center out of a slice of bread, either with a drinking glass or a cute cookie cutter shape. (We did ours Valentines weekend with hearts.) Melt butter on a heated skillet. Place bread on skillet and crack egg in center. Salt and pepper it. Heat until it becomes firm enough to flip. Cook both sides--I also like to toast the centers--the kids love those too. We serve ours with ketchup or melted cheese on top. With a side of applesauce or fruit and milk you've got all major food groups!
