Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, heat until the coals are covered in a thin layer of ash.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and orange zest to make the glaze.
Lightly brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.
Cook the salmon for about 4 minutes, then carefully flip each fillet. Brush the tops generously with the orange glaze and cook for another 4-6 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Brush the fillets with more glaze during the last minute of cooking for an extra layer of flavor.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
