Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, Dijon mustard, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is thoroughly coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag tightly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 4-6 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and serve hot. Pair with a side of grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
