Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets (skin-on preferred)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This will be your glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush the flesh side of each fillet generously with the mustard glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Cover the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon so it is flesh-side down. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the flesh is slightly caramelized and the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature should reach at least 145°F/63°C). Be cautious not to overcook.
Remove the salmon from the grill and allow it to rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
