In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt.
Rinse the salmon steaks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the salmon steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the prepared marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the dish or bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
When ready to cook, heat a large nonstick skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with a little olive oil.
Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting (optional).
Cook the salmon steaks on the skillet or grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
While cooking, optionally baste the salmon with the reserved marinade for added flavor, but discard any leftover marinade after cooking to avoid cross-contamination.
Transfer the cooked salmon steaks to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
