Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 sliced (optional, for garnish) lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring the fillets are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat or set a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.
Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent the fish from sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place the fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque 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 minutes before serving.
Garnish the grilled salmon with optional lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
