Asian Grilled Salmon

Here is a tasty and very simple way to cook salmon. I like to buy the fresh salmon from Costco and then I cook it on my gas grill. I am sure you could easily pan fry it on the stove.

Asian Grilled Salmon from the Barefoot Contessa

1 side fresh salmon (about 3 pounds)

For the marinade:
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons good soy sauce
6 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Cut salmon into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Reserve the other half of the marinade.
Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until it looks flaky and done. It will continue to cook for a few minutes after you remove it from the heat.
Transfer the fish to a flat plate and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes.
