Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons Horseradish (prepared)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then brush both sides with olive oil. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, horseradish, honey, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper to make the tiger sauce. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Close the grill lid and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving the fillets to allow the skin to crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon using a fish spatula and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the grilled salmon with a generous drizzle of tiger sauce on top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
