Grilled Salmon with Soy-Brown Sugar Marinade

We eat quite a bit of salmon in our household, mostly because I love fish, and salmon is one of the few types of fish thought to be safe for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive. This is our very favorite salmon recipe. It is so quick and easy, and it leaves the salmon with a wonderful sweet-salty crust. I served this with steamed asparagus and Israeli couscous for a quick and healthy meal. I usually grill the salmon, but given the crappy weather, I cooked it on the stove this time, and it still came out great.

• 1/3 C water

2. 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 at least 2 hours.

4. 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.
