Ingredients
- 1 - 1 ½ lbs salmon 4 4-6 oz bbq cut salmon filets
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup soy sauce tamari or coconut aminos, low sodium
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

- Make marinade by combining lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, dijon mustard and garlic in a gallon zip lock bag.
- Place fish in the bag with marinade and let marinade for 2-3 hours.
- After fish has marinated, preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Place salmon on the grill, skinless-side down and discard salmon marinade.
- Cook salmon for a few minutes, just long enough to get grill marks and then flip so the salmon is skin-side down. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from grill and serve warm.

Notes
- You can use a grill pan instead!
- Don't have a grill? You can use a grill pan instead!
- Short on time? You can marinate the salmon for only 30 minutes if you're short on time. It just won't have time to soak up as much flavors.
- Soy sauce: You can use tamari for a gluten-free option or coconut aminos if you prefer a soy-free alternative.
- Sweetener: Coconut sugar, maple syrup or agave nectar can be used in place of brown sugar or honey for a different type of sweetness.
- Garlic: Only have garlic powder on hand? Use 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder instead of 2 cloves.
