Pacific Northwest Grilled Salmon

Pacific Northwest Grilled Salmon

A Besecker family favorite for generations, and about as simple as grilling gets. Wild salmon goes flesh side down on a hot grill for four to five minutes, then flips and gets lemon and butter, soy sauce, Worcestershire and garlic powder, and finally brown sugar and green onions in the last few minutes. Nothing to wash up but the grill.

This is a recipe that our father-in-law, Dana F. Besecker, used to make during his time fishing off of Lummi Island in the 1970's. It's a family favorite and guaranteed crowd pleaser. We have many fond memories of Dana over the grill with sides of salmon, always happy to share with his friends and family.
