Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Fish fillets (salmon, cod, or tilapia)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional garnish)
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, grated ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil to create the glaze.
Season the fish fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Brush half of the glaze onto the fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reserve the other half of the glaze for basting during grilling.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grates with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the fish fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Carefully flip the fish using a spatula and brush them with the remaining glaze. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish the fish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
