  • Whiskey
  • Salmon Fillets

How to Make 911 Salmon

  1. In a large zip-top bag, combine all marinade ingredients.
  2. Add salmon fillets to the bag, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade.
  3. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove salmon from the marinade bag and discard the marinade.
  6. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
  7. Grill for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. For thicker fillets, you may need to increase grilling time by a few minutes.
  8. Carefully flip the salmon and grill for another 3-5 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
  9. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
