Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup honey
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Fresh parsley or green onions, for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Reserve 2 tbsp of the sauce for brushing while grilling.
Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour marinade over the salmon and let sit for 15–30 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Remove salmon from the marinade and place skin-side down on the grill. Cook 4–5 minutes per side, brushing with reserved sauce, until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer to a plate, drizzle with extra sauce if desired, and garnish with parsley or green onions.
Serve hot with rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Notes
Marinate for at least 15 minutes but no longer than 1 hour for best flavor.
For a richer glaze, simmer leftover marinade until slightly thickened and drizzle over salmon before serving.
Works just as well on a stovetop grill pan or baked in the oven.
