Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the salmon. Ensure the salmon is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Close the lid and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two. Transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish like grilled vegetables or rice.
