Instructions:
-
SautΓ© Onion and Garlic:
- In a skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat.

Prepare Marinade:
- To the skillet, add minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, and ground pepper.
- Simmer the mixture for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Allow the marinade to cool.
-
Marinate the Salmon:
- Transfer the cooled marinade into a zip-lock storage bag or a shallow covered dish.
- Add the salmon fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes, turning the fillets occasionally for even marination.
-
Grill the Fish:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Place the fish on a well-greased, hinged wire grill.
- Cook the fish 2 inches from the coals for approximately 3 minutes on each side.
- Baste frequently with the reserved marinade to infuse extra flavor.
- Continue cooking for about 5 minutes longer, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, transfer the fish steaks to a serving platter.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
- Serve hot alongside your favorite side dishes or a fresh salad.
Recipe Notes:
- Ensure the grill is well-greased to prevent the fish from sticking.
- For a smokier flavor, you can use a charcoal grill.
- Adjust the marinating time according to your preference for flavor intensity.
- Feel free to customize the marinade with additional herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences.
- Check the doneness of the fish by gently inserting a fork and twisting it; the fish should flake easily when it’s done.
