Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium saucepan, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, orange marmalade, minced garlic cloves, soy sauce, and brown sugar until well combined.
Thicken the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth, then slowly stir this mixture into the saucepan with the marinade. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the marinade thickens. Remove from heat and set aside half for brushing on the salmon after grilling.
Prepare the Salmon for Grilling: Lay the salmon filets skin-side down on soaked cedar planks or a well-oiled grill grate. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Brush half of the thickened marinade onto the tops of the salmon.
Grill the Salmon: Grill the salmon over medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve: Transfer the salmon to plates, brush with the reserved marinade, and serve immediately for the best flavor.

Notes

This recipe infuses the salmon with lively citrus flavors that perfectly balance sweet, tart, and savory notes.
Using cedar planks adds a subtle smoky aroma, but a well-oiled grill works just as well.
Be sure to not overcook the salmon to maintain its tender and flaky texture.
Brush the marinade generously for a glossy finish and enhanced taste.
