Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F to 400°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush both sides generously with the honey mustard mixture, reserving a small amount for brushing during grilling.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if they have skin) on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a wide spatula and brush with the reserved honey mustard mixture. Close the lid and continue grilling for another 5-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
