Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and ground black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the grill and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon with your choice of grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
