Step 1
Start by placing the salmon fillets in a bowl. In another bowl, mix together the soy sauce, lemon juice, half of the chopped onion, onion slices, chopped garlic, and some black pepper. Pour this marinade over the salmon, then add the rest of the chopped onion, minced garlic, and a bit of garlic-pepper seasoning on top. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge to marinate for about 12 to 15 hours, flipping the fish over during the last 3 to 4 hours to make sure it soaks up the flavors evenly.

Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and give the grate a light oiling to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets directly on the grill or on cedar planks if you have them, then pile the marinated onion slices on top. Grill the salmon for 8 to 10 minutes until it’s nicely browned. After that, turn the heat down to medium-low and keep cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when you poke it with a fork. Enjoy!
