Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Tangy Grilled Salmon.
Step 1
Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a high heat, setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
While the grill warms up, grab a saucepan and melt some butter over medium heat.
Step 3
As the butter begins to bubble, stir in brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, fragrant dill weed, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 4
Keep stirring until the brown sugar dissolves completely, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma as it becomes a luscious glaze.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to prepare the star of the show: the salmon fillets.
Step 6
Season them generously with lemon pepper, allowing the flavors to mingle.
Step 7
When the grill is ready, place the salmon skin side down directly on the grate.
Step 8
As it cooks, brush the salmon frequently with that beautiful butter and brown sugar glaze, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 9
Grill the salmon for about 20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork, signaling that it’s perfectly cooked.
Step 10
Don’t forget to reserve a bit of that glaze for serving; it adds a wonderful finishing touch.
Step 11
Enjoy the process and savor the delicious results of your grilling adventure!.
