Eddy's Brown Sugar and Honey Grilled Wild Salmon

By nicla91

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 3/4 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup kosher salt
• 4 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
• 1 pound skin-on wild salmon fillet
• 1 tbsp canola or other neutral cooking oil

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine water, brown sugar, salt and honey. Boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, stir in chopped dill and let cool completely. Transfer to a baking dish that will accommodate the liquid and the salmon.
Place salmon fillet in the brine skin-side up and marinate in the refrigerator for no longer than 1 hr.
Preheat grill to 350-400F.
Remove salmon from the brine and pat dry. Rub oil on the skin-side only to prevent sticking. Transfer the salmon, skin-side up, to the grill and grill for about 8 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for and additional 5 minutes, or until cooked to taste (fish should flake easily with fork)
