Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, aim for approximately 375–400°F (190–204°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and glowing.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt until well combined. This will be your glaze.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet lightly with the prepared glaze on all sides.
Spray the grill grates with cooking spray or lightly oil them using a paper towel soaked in oil (held with tongs) to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 5–6 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets using a spatula.
Brush more glaze on the salmon after flipping. Cook for an additional 4–5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve the glazed grilled salmon immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad.
