🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 0.25 cups honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks green onions (thinly sliced, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, and black pepper to create the glaze.

2. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish and pour half of the glaze mixture over the fish. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting. Marinate the fish for 15–20 minutes.

3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375–400°F). Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.

4. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Discard the used marinade.

5. Grill the salmon for 4–5 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip using a wide spatula. Brush the reserved glaze over the top of the fillets while they cook on the second side.

6. Cook for another 3–5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

7. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2–3 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

8. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
