Enjoy a delightful and healthy meal with this grilled salmon recipe. The salmon fillets are marinated in a tangy and flavorful sauce, then grilled to perfection. This dish is perfect for summer barbecues or any occasion that calls for a delicious seafood dish. Serve with a fresh salad or your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and olive oil.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn the fillets to coat them evenly. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a stronger flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill.
  5. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it can become dry.
  6. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Serve the grilled salmon hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon slices.
  8. Enjoy!
