ingredients
4 salmon steaks (6-8 ounce size, about 1-inch thick)
1/2 cup steak sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup lemon juice
directions
Place the salmon in a shallow, non-reactive dish. Combine the steak sauce, garlic, sugar, black pepper, parsley, green onions, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well. Pour 1/2 cup of the lemon-parsley mixture over the salmon steaks. Place the remaining sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Cover the salmon and refrigerate for 1 hour. Turn the fish every 20 minutes to coat it in the marinade.
Preheat a grill to medium heat. Grease the grill grates.
Remove the fish from the marinade and place on the grill. Discard the used marinade. Grill the salmon steaks for 4-6 minutes per side, basting the fish frequently with the reserved lemon-parsley mixture. Cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the grilled lemon-parsley salmon steaks immediately.
recipe tips
Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator to keep it at a safe temperature.
Turn the salmon gently when grilling to keep it from breaking apart.
Baste the salmon with the reserved marinade to keep it moist and flavorful.
Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after grilling for the juices to redistribute.
Try adding different herbs like dill or thyme to the marinade.
Use a wide spatula for easier handling of the salmon on the grill.
Keep a close eye on the grill as salmon can cook quickly and overcooking will dry it out.
Serve the salmon with a wedge of lemon, if desired.
Enjoy the health benefits of salmon, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein.
common recipe questions
Can I use dried parsley instead of fresh?
Fresh parsley is recommended for the best flavor, but you can use dried parsley in a pinch. Reduce the amount to about 2 tablespoons.
What can I substitute for steak sauce?
You can use Worcestershire sauce or a mixture of soy sauce and ketchup as a substitute.
Can I marinate the salmon for longer than 1 hour?
It's best not to marinate for too long as the acid in the lemon juice can start to "cook" the fish. One hour is best but you can marinate for up to 4 hours.

Make sure the grill is hot and well-greased before adding the salmon.
Can I bake the salmon instead of grilling?
Yes, you can bake the salmon on a broiler pan at 400 degrees F for about 12-15 minutes or until done.
Is it necessary to discard the used marinade?
