Instructions
-
Prepare the Grill: Begin by preheating your gas or charcoal grill, setting it up for indirect heat cooking, which ensures an even and gentle grilling process, allowing the salmon to cook thoroughly without drying out.
-
Make the Glaze: In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the salmon. Use a whisk to blend them well, creating a smooth and flavorful glaze that will enhance the richness of the salmon.
-
Grill the Salmon: Lay a piece of heavy-duty foil on the grill, and place the salmon fillets skin side down on the foil. Brush generously with the prepared glaze. Close the lid of the grill and cook over indirect heat, brushing with the glaze every five minutes. Grill until the salmon is opaque and moist-looking in the center, which should take about 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Enjoy this sumptuous barbecued salmon with your favorite sides for a perfect summer meal that embodies the spirit of outdoor dining!
