Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- Salt (to taste)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Goat cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and a pinch of salt to create the marinade.
Place salmon fillets in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the salmon marinates, prepare the topping. In a medium bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, torn basil leaves, and crumbled goat cheese. Set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove salmon from the marinade and pat lightly with a paper towel to remove excess marinade. Place salmon on the grill, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked salmon to a serving plate. Top each fillet with the tomato, basil, and goat cheese mixture.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the salmon and toppings for a final touch of bright flavor.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad. Enjoy!
