Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing grill)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375–400°F or 190–200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water, and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on a large plate or baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the top and sides of each fillet with the prepared glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down. Close the lid and cook for 6 minutes without flipping.
Carefully open the lid, brush the salmon with more glaze, and carefully flip the fillets. Grill for another 4–6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes. This helps it stay moist and lets the flavors meld.
Serve the grilled salmon fillets hot, garnished with additional orange zest, if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
