Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 4 fillets Salmon fillets (About 6 oz each; skin removed if desired)
- To taste: Salt
- To taste: Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (For brushing the salmon)
For the Honey Glaze:
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- Optional: Red pepper flakes (A pinch for a subtle kick adjust to taste)
Instructions
Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Season the Salmon:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- Brush each fillet with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) until smooth.
Grill the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down if applicable.
- Grill for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until the salmon is just cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
- During the last 2–3 minutes of grilling, generously brush the glaze over the fillets, allowing it to caramelize slightly on the surface.
Finish and Serve:
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with a wedge of lemon or a sprinkle of fresh parsley, alongside your favorite side dishes.
Notes
For an extra burst of citrus, add an additional teaspoon of lemon juice to the glaze.
If you don’t have a grill, you can broil the salmon in the oven on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for about 10–12 minutes, brushing with the glaze during the final minutes.
Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete, balanced meal.
Enjoy your Grilled Honey Glazed Salmon—a sweet, savory, and healthy dinner that brings a radiant shine to your family feast!
