Salmon

Salmon is one of those things I never thought I would like till I tried it. And I do really like to eat it now, especially in the summer time cooked on our grill. I haven't had good luck with just baking it in the oven, probably because I didn't use any marinade.
Yesterday we made salmon using this marinade and cooked to perfection on the grill. So yummy and I cannot wait to make it again. It's a nice change from the normal for us.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
lemon pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
salt to taste
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil (I used EVOO)
DIRECTIONS
Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil until sugar is dissolved. Place fish in a large resealable plastic bag with the soy sauce mixture, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Preheat grill for medium heat.
Lightly oil grill grate. Place salmon on the preheated grill, and discard marinade. Cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Note:
I prepared the marinade first thing in the morning and let the salmon marinate all day long. The brown sugar forms a nice crystalization on the salmon making it extra yummy.
