Hawaiian Grilled Salmon

Method

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl or ziplock bag add the soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, ketchup, ginger, oregano, crushed red pepper, pineapple juice and mix well.

  2. 2

    Add the salmon filets into the bowl or ziplock bag and gently coat the salmon. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove the salmon from the fridge and let set out to bring them to room temperature. Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray or brush with olive oil and heat it to medium-high.

  4. 4

    Place the salmon and the pineapple rings on the grill and use a brush to coat more of the marinade on the salmon.

  5. 5

    Close the grill and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. If you want to grill each side you can but you don't have to. If you choose not to flip them then you will want to grill the salmon on the skin side down for about 13-15 minutes or until the salmon reaches 145 degrees F. Remove the salmon and pineapple from the grill.

  6. 6

    Place the salmon on a platter and garnish with fresh green onion, cilantro or parsley. Serve the pineapple alongside the salmon so your guests can add a pineapple ring to their salmon.

Notes

If you want to grill each side you can but it isn’t essential. If you choose not to flip them then you will want to grill the salmon on the skin side down for about 13-15 minutes. Keep some marinade to one side so that you can brush the salmon and pineapple while cooking. This is a great method if you choose to use the BBQ grill and cook outside. You can either use ground ginger or fresh ginger if you have it. Fresh ginger is such a nice addition and adds a ton of flavor.
