Citrus Glazed Salmon

My husband and I have been working to perfect this recipe - and I think we have it almost perfect...


1 salmon fillet
1 cup brown sugar
1 orange
1 lemon
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp butter, sliced into 5-6 tabs

zest the entire lemon and the entire orange.  Combine zest, salt, pepper, and brown sugar in your food processor or blender.  Pulse until combined.  When you take the lid off it will smell amazing!  

Place fillet on a large sheet of foil that has been sprayed with non stick spray.  Rub the mixture on top of the fillet.  

Place the butter tabs evenly on top of the fillet.

Slice the lemon and the orange into 1/4 inch slices.  Cover the surface of the fillet with the slices.

Seal the foil pack and marinate at room temperature for 45 minutes.  

Preheat grill to hot.  Before cooking salmon, reduce heat to warm except for one burner.  Place salmon opposite the hot burner and cook for 10-15 minutes until opaque and flakes easily.
