We recently said goodbye to my husband’s parents, as they were heading back home to Germany. We’ll see them again soon in a couple weeks when we make a stop in Germany during our honeymoon. Three weeks away from work and responsibilities! I can’t wait!
So to send them off, back to the land of beer, brats, cheese and bread, we needed them to have one last taste of the Pacific Northwest with a salmon dinner. You just can’t get salmon like this when you live at the base of the Alps!
Dijon-Orange Glazed Salmon
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lb Fillet of Salmon
- 1 Tbsp Minced Shallots
- 3 Tbsp Coconut Aminos
- 7 drops Fish Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 tsp Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
- 1/2 tsp Orange Zest
Instructions
- Heat your grill to medium heat, between 350F and 400F.
- Combine all of the ingredients except the salmon in a small bowl and whisk together.
- Cover a baking sheet with foil, and place your fillet of fish on the foil.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the fish and coat evenly.
- Place the baking sheet directly on to the grill and close the lid.
- Cook until done, about 20 - 30 minutes depending on the thickness. Your fish will be done when it flakes from sticking a fork into the meat and twisting slightly.
Notes
I used a baking sheet on the grill mainly for easy clean up and to prevent flair ups from the sauce dripping onto the grill. Feel free to place your fish on a well oiled grill if you prefer. Your fish will likely cook a bit faster that way as well.
What good timing! I just bought salmon fillets last night! 🙂
I sensed it. That’s why I posted it. 🙂
