Ingredients

1 lb salmon fillets about 4
¾ cup brown sugar
1 orange
2 lemons
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoon butter sliced into 5-6 tabs

Instructions

Zest the entire lemon, entire orange, and entire grapefruit. Combine zest and brown sugar in a bowl and stir to combine.
Place fillet on a large sheet of foil that has been sprayed with non stick spray.
Season filets with salt and pepper
Rub the mixture on top of the filets. Distribute evenly between each filet.
Place the butter tabs evenly on top of the filets.
Slice the lemon, orange, and grapefruit into ¼ inch slices. Cover the surface of the filet 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.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can use the leftovers to make this Citrus and Salmon Salad.

Change the citrus to make different combinations. Use more orange and less lemon to make this a stronger flavored orange glazed salmon.

Choose salmon fillets that are similar in size so they will cook in the same amount of time
