Description
Easy and delicious grilled salmon with a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze. Perfect for a summer BBQ.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger (if using), and lime juice (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- Brush each salmon fillet generously with the honey garlic glaze. Reserve some glaze for brushing during cooking.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill. If skin-on, place skin-side down first.
- Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets and your desired doneness. Brush with the reserved glaze halfway through cooking.
- The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Carefully remove the salmon from the grill.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger to your preference.
- For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can bake the salmon in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.
- Ensure your grill is clean to prevent the salmon from sticking.
