• Ready In: 1hr 40mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 cup lemonade
• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lemon, juice and zest of, plus 1 lemon, cut into thin rounds
• kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 lbs center-cut skin-on salmon fillets
• 1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
• 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley

directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemonade, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2. Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the salmon, making three 1-inch incisions. Put the salmon and onions in a baking dish and pour the marinade over. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour, flipping halfway through.
3. Remove the salmon and onions from the marinade and discard the remaining liquid. Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Place the salmon on the pan skin-side down. Arrange the onion rounds and lemon slices in the pan around the fish.
4. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, then flip the fish, onions and lemons. Grill until the salmon is cooked through and the onions are soft and lightly charred, 5 to 8 minutes.
5. Place the salmon on a platter. Garnish with the grilled onions, lemon slices, lemon juice and parsley and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Super flavorful salmon! I never would've thought to use lemonade for the marinade, but it was amazing! Serve with rice or a salad and you're good to go!

Lemonade? Frozen? Prepared? Homemade? Brown Sugar? How much? No reference in ingredients?

Re: Brown sugar my guess is that it is the amount you would use to make the lemonade drinkable to your taste, maybe minus a bit as you don't want the salmon too sweet-tasting.
