Grilled Salmon Recipe - Orca Point Lodge

We had the best ever Grilled Salmon at the Orca Point Lodge in Juneau during our Alaska cruise...and they gave us the recipe!

Ingredients:
Fresh Alaska Salmon filet
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbs. lemon juice (fresh)

1. Melt butter in small sauce pan over low heat. Add brown sugar, soy sauce and lemon juice.
2. Rinse salmon filet with freshwater and pat dry. Cut filet into approximately 6-8, 4 oz servings; skin intact. Place fish (skin side down) in a shallow, non-porous glass dish.
3. Pour 3/4 of the Cooled marinade mixture over salmon filets; make sure that they are well coated. Cover and marinate for 30 min. to 1 hour.

Cooking:
Prepare an outdoor grill to medium-high heat, and lightly oil the cooking surface.
Grill salmon for approximately 4-5 min. on each side, turning only once. Baste fish with reserved marinade while on the grill. Cook until salmon just begins to flake; it may be slightly translucent in the center. The fish will continue to cook once it is removed from the grill. Be careful not to overcook.
