Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, paprika, and honey. Whisk until the marinade is smooth and well combined.
3. Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them skin-side down on the grill. Discard the used marinade.
6. Grill the salmon for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the flesh is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the salmon.
7. Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
8. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy!
