01
Step 1
Start by stirring the brown sugar into the hot water until it’s fully dissolved. Pour that mixture into a large resealable bag, then add the wine, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and lemon pepper. Toss the salmon into the bag, seal it up, and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you can.

Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to high and brush the grate with a little oil to keep the fish from sticking. Take the salmon out of the marinade (but don’t toss the marinade yet!) and grill the fillets for about 5 to 8 minutes on each side. You’ll know it’s done when the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Step 3
While the salmon is grilling, pour the reserved marinade into a small pot. Mix the cornstarch with some cold water until smooth, then bring the marinade to a boil. Slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture and keep stirring until it thickens up nicely. You can spoon this sauce over the salmon or serve it on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the rich, buttery taste of salmon with a smoky grilled flavor that’s both satisfying and healthy. It’s quick to prepare, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Plus, the natural oils in salmon provide essential nutrients that support heart health.
How to serve
Serve with a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal. A squeeze of lemon or a dollop of herb-infused yogurt adds brightness and complements the smoky flavors. Pair with a light white wine or sparkling water with citrus.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying it out. For longer storage, freeze the cooked salmon wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap for up to one month.
