Salmon is a firm fish high in fat, making it a great choice for grilling. Since it is high in protein, omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin D, it is also a healthy choice. Choose wild caught salmon for the best flavor.


Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 1- 12 ounce bottle amber ale beer
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1- 12 ounce salmon fillet
    salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions:

    Whisk beer, brown sugar and Dijon mustard together in a medium sauce pan

    Heat on medium heat until sugar melts

    Place salmon in pan and pour sauce over salmon to marinate.

    Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes

    Heat grill to medium heat. Remove salmon from marinade (reserve) and place on grill and cook for 8-10 minutes depending on thickness of salmon. Sprinkle top of salmon with salt and pepper after placing on the grill.

    Baste salmon with marinade and turn over to cook other side. Continue to cook until salmon is done, being careful not to overcook.
