Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk well until the ingredients are fully combined and the marinade is smooth.
Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
While the salmon marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and discard the used marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down if the fillets have skin. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
