Are you looking for something to throw on the grill besides hamburgers, hot dogs, or chicken? Try our Grilled Salmon Teriyaki! It's loaded with unbelievable flavor because you marinate it for up to 8 hours. We served the grilled salmon teriyaki with steamed vegetables, but if you want a more filling side, try our Instant Pot brown rice, microwaved sweet potato, or air-fryer potatoes.
*Note the nutrition information does not include the steamed vegetables.
How long should I grill a piece of salmon?
Depending on the thickness of the salmon, it can take 4–6 minutes per side.
Do you have to flip salmon on the grill?
Sometimes, people don't agree with flipping salmon, while others do. Flipping salmon is optional; you don't have to flip salmon. However, if you want both sides of the salmon to have grill marks, definitely flip the salmon!
Is it better to grill salmon in foil or not?
It doesn't matter as long as you prepare the salmon correctly. Foil does help keep the salmon moist when it's on the grill and prevents it from sticking to the grill or falling apart. However, you can still end up with tender, flaky salmon that does not fall apart if you prepare it correctly.
How do you know when to flip salmon?
The side of the salmon that's closest to the heat will develop a pinkish, almost white color. When half of the fillet is this pinkish-white color, it's time to flip the salmon over.
Time & Serves
Ingredients
1 cup Brown Sugar
3/4 cup Tamari
1/3 cup Pineapple juice
Juice of 1/2 Lime
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 Shallot, minced
2 tablespoons Apple Cider vinegar
1 tablespoon grated Ginger
2 teaspoons Sesame oil
4 skin-on Salmon fillets
2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Non-stick Cooking spray
1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
2 tablespoons fresh Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Whisk the brown sugar, tamari, pineapple juice, lime juice, garlic, shallot, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a large bowl until combined.
Add the salmon fillets to the marinade, toss to coat in the marinade, then cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least 4 or 8 hours.
Set up your grill, brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, and preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are cooking the salmon in a grill pan, spray it with non-stick cooking spray, then set it over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon on the grill or grill pan skin-side down. Cook it for 6 minutes, then flip it over and cook it for another 4–6 minutes until the internal temperature using a food thermometer reads 145 °F.
Meanwhile, make the steamed vegetables according to the instructions.
Place the salmon onto 3 serving plates and add the steamed vegetables.
Garnish the salmon with sesame seeds and parsley before serving.
