Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks, finely chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, Herbes de Provence, and sesame oil. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and season the fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is grilling, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes to create a glaze. Remove from heat.
Once the salmon is cooked, transfer the fillets onto a serving platter. Brush the tops lightly with the prepared glaze.
Sprinkle the grilled salmon with chopped green onions and black sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as jasmine rice or roasted vegetables.
