Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, mix the IPA beer, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic, and ginger.

Pro tip: Use a craft IPA beer for a richer flavor.

Marinate the Salmon

Place the salmon in a dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: The longer you marinate, the more intense the flavor will be.

Prepare the Glaze

In a small saucepan, combine the IPA beer, honey, soy sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Heat over medium and let simmer until thickened.

Pro tip: Keep a close eye on the glaze to prevent it from burning.

Preheat the BBQ

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

Pro tip: Make sure the grill is clean and oiled to prevent the salmon from sticking.

Grill the Salmon

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.

Pro tip: Use a wide spatula to gently flip the salmon.

Apply the Glaze

Halfway through cooking, brush the salmon with the prepared glaze. Repeat when flipping.

Pro tip: Don't apply too much glaze at once to avoid burning.

Check for Doneness

The salmon is ready when its flesh flakes easily with a fork and is opaque.

Pro tip: For perfect doneness, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F.

Serve

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Pro tip: Serve the salmon with grilled vegetables and a fresh salad.
