Print This Recipe
This would be good with simple, parboiled potatoes and Swiss Chard on the side, along with a crusty piece of sourdough bread.
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon natural liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried red pepper flakes
1 center-cut salmon fillet, about 2 pounds, skin on, in 1 pieceCombine all ingredients except salmon. Cook over medium heat in a saucepan, stirring until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
Arrange the salmon in a dish just large enough to hold it. Pour the cooked marinade over it, and let it stand for 30 minutes, turning once.
Prepare hot coals for grilling or set gas grill on medium high. Oil the grill well and cook the salmon, skin side up, over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn over and cook until the fish flakes easily, another 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer fish to a platter, and serve immediately.
