Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a large 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, and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and reserve the excess marinade for basting. Place the fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and develops a slightly caramelized crust.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two.
Garnish the grilled salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
