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
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and olive oil.
- 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.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill.
- 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.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the grilled salmon hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon slices.
- Enjoy!
