Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Optional: sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
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 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for a stronger flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

5. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate. Optional: sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions over the salmon for garnish.
6. Serve the honey ginger grilled salmon hot with steamed vegetables or your choice of side dish. Enjoy!
