Grilled Lemonade Salmon
Description
"Salmon with a summery, citrusy twist."
Ingredients
- 1 cup lemonade
- 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, juice and zest of, plus 1 lemon, cut into thin rounds
- kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1⁄2 lbs center-cut skin-on salmon fillets
- 1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemonade, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the salmon, making three 1-inch incisions. Put the salmon and onions in a baking dish and pour the marinade over. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour, flipping halfway through.
- Remove the salmon and onions from the marinade and discard the remaining liquid. Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Place the salmon on the pan skin-side down. Arrange the onion rounds and lemon slices in the pan around the fish.
- Cook 3 to 5 minutes, then flip the fish, onions and lemons. Grill until the salmon is cooked through and the onions are soft and lightly charred, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Place the salmon on a platter. Garnish with the grilled onions, lemon slices, lemon juice and parsley and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
