Family Favorite Lemon Grilled Salmon

Here it is! Finally. I have been meaning to post this recipe for a while now. It's a huge hit in my family and we always look forward to it every time. Have this with sides of rice and veggies (any type will do). I present to you our famous Lemon Grilled Salmon recipe! Enjoy! :)


Ingredients

2 tsp
fresh chopped dill
1/2 tsp
lemon pepper seasoning
1/2 tsp
salt (optional)
1/4 tsp
garlic powder
1
salmon fillet (1 1/2 pnds)
1/4 c
packed brown sugar
3 Tbsp
chicken broth
3 Tbsp
canola oil
3 Tbsp
reduced sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsp
finely chopped green onions
1
small lemon, thinly sliced
2
onion slices, separated into rings

DirectionsStep-By-Step



1
 Sprinkle dill, lemon-pepper, salt if desired and garlic powder over salmon. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the brown sugar, broth, oil, soy sauce and green onions; add salmon. Seal bag and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning once.


2
 Drain and discard marinade. Grill salmon skin side down, over medium heat; arrange lemon and onion slices over the top. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
