Best BBQ Salmon

This is my favorite salmon recipe, hands down! It is incredibly easy too...no more than 5 minutes prep time. I've submitted the original recipe but I have to be honest... sometimes I don't cook the butter, honey and sugar together. I just throw all the ingredients (minus the butter) in a tupperware or gallon plastic bag, mix it together, and add the salmon. I even use the pre-chopped garlic in a jar sometimes (my sisters would be appalled!) - it is super fast and easy and grills up absolutely delicious!


Barbecue Salmon
submitted by Brittany

1 T. butter
1 T. honey
1 T. brown sugar
2 T. soy sauce
2 T. dijon mustard
1 T. olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
2 lbs. salmon fillet

Stir honey with butter and sugar in small frying pan until butter is melted. Add remaining ingredients. Rinse fish and pat dry; place in sauce for 15 min to 1 hour. Place salmon on a large piece of aluminum foil, making a boat. Pour sauce over fish. Place foil boat on grill, lightly crimping the top together but not sealed.  Grill for approximately 15 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.

*I have tried grilling this but to be honest I think it is way better in the oven!! I cook mine under the broiler for about 8 minutes (depending on the thickness of the salmon-if it is very thick, I'll turn it over part way through). Just broil it on a piece of tin foil but not wrapped in the boat; approx 6 inches from heat. It is very important that you DO NOT OVERCOOK!! Salmon is best if it is very moist. Test for doneness by poking with a fork and twisting gently - if it flakes, it's ready.  The broiler will carmelize the marinade a little on top... fantastic!
