Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on preferred)
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, rosemary (if using), ground black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring the fillets are well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and set the marinade aside. Pat the salmon lightly with paper towels to remove excess marinade (this will help it sear better).
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad. For extra flavor, drizzle any remaining (heated) marinade over the salmon.
