Lemon Soy Grilled Salmon Recipe

This grilled salmon recipe is a tasty and easy meal to prepare. The lemon and soy flavors pair nicely with the rich flavor of the salmon.
If you want to do your whole meal on the grill, make up some vegetable kabobs or a vegetable pack (veggies seasoned with olive oil and spices and wrapped up in aluminum foil) to go along with the fish. If you choose to do this, I suggest you put the vegetables on 1st since they will take longer to cook than the fish.
Since you may want a specific recipe, I have included a grilled zucchini recipe below to help you out.

Along with the grilled salmon recipe, I have included some nutrition facts for salmon to let you know why this fish is so good for you.

Grilled Lemon Soy Salmon Recipe

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons liquid aminos (or soy sauce)*
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
cooking spray
sliced green onions

Combine the 1st 6 ingredients in a large zip-lock plastic bag. Add salmon to the bag and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 40 minutes, turning once. Heat the grill and lightly oil the grates. Remove the fish from the bag, and reserve marinade. Place the fish on the grill with the skin side down and cook for 5 minutes. Brush fish with reserved marinade. Lightly coat fish with cooking spray. Turn fish over and grill for 3 more minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Garnish with onions.

Note: Liquid Aminos is a great healthy substitute for soy sauce. You can find it in most health stores.
