Instructions
Creating Brown Sugar BBQ Grilled Salmon Fillets is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all fillets are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
4. Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the salmon fillets directly on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 5-6 minutes.
5. Turn the Salmon: Carefully flip the fillets and grill for another 5-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Check for Doneness: The internal temperature should reach 145°F. If the salmon appears opaque and flakes easily, it’s ready to be taken off the grill.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the fillets from the grill, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
By following these steps, you will have perfectly grilled salmon fillets infused with a delightful brown sugar BBQ flavor!
