Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Marinade
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup brown sugar, juice of one lemon, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir thoroughly until the brown sugar is mostly dissolved and the ingredients are well blended.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the 4 salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the prepared marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. To prevent the salmon from sticking, brush the grill grates lightly with oil before placing the fish.
- Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for safe consumption.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Texas Roadhouse Salmon hot, ideally with sides such as rice, corn, and roasted asparagus for a balanced meal. Enjoy the delightful combination of smoky, sweet, and tangy flavors.
Notes
- For best results, marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 2 hours to avoid overpowering the fish.
- You can substitute brown sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
- If you don’t have a grill, this salmon can be cooked under a broiler or in a grill pan on the stove.
- Make sure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking and torn salmon fillets.
- Check the salmon’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer for perfectly cooked fish every time.
