Description

This grilled teriyaki salmon features a marinade of apple juice and garlic that's cooked down to a rich, tasty sauce to drizzle over the cooked fish.

Ingredients

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 (6 ounce) fillets salmon

Directions

1 Whisk together teriyaki sauce, apple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, and pepper in a small bowl until marinade is well combined.
2 Place salmon fillets in a glass baking dish. Pour marinade over fillets; cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
3 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
4 Remove fillets from marinade and shake off excess. Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced, about 5 minutes.
5 Meanwhile, cook fillets on the preheated grill until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
6 Serve fillets with reduced marinade drizzled over the top.
