Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 wedges lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure all fillets are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the salmon for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to marinate.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 4–5 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for another 4–5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
