Ingredients

  • Two fresh salmon fillets
  • A generous half cup of soy sauce
  • Half a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • A quarter cup of roughly chopped onion bits
  • Six slices of onion rings for added flavor
  • Two cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
  • A teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • A minced clove of garlic for depth
  • A tablespoon of optional garlic-pepper seasoning

Step 1

Start by delicately nestling the tender salmon fillets into a spacious bowl. To create a flavorful marinade, blend the zesty soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, half of the finely diced onion, fragrant garlic, and a sprinkle of black pepper in a separate container. Gently drizzle this tantalizing mixture over the salmon, sprinkling the remaining chopped onion, minced garlic, and garlic-pepper seasoning on top for an extra burst of taste.

Step 2

Seal the bowl snugly with a lid and let the salmon luxuriate in the marinade in the refrigerator, remembering to turn the fish over within the last few hours of the 12 to 15-hour marinating process for optimal flavor infusion.

Step 3

Prepare your outdoor grill by preheating it to high heat and lightly greasing the grate to prevent sticking. Carefully place the marinated salmon on the grill or cedar planks, generously topping it with the marinated onion slices. Grill until the salmon develops a beautiful golden-brown hue, which should take approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the fish is tender and easily flakes apart with a fork, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Bon appétit!
