Honey grilled salmon is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavour of salmon with the sweetness of honey and a hint of smokiness from the grill. The perfect sweet and savoury combination - here is a delicious recipe that you can try.
STEP 1.In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh ginger, and lemon juice. This mixture will serve as both the marinade and the glaze for your salmon.
STEP 2.Season the salmon fillets with a little salt and pepper. Place them in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag.
STEP 3.Pour about two-thirds of the honey marinade over the salmon, reserving the remaining one-third for later. Make sure the salmon is well-coated in the marinade.
STEP 4.Preheat your grill to medium-high heat 190-200°C and oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Close the grill lid and cook for about 3-4 minutes.
STEP 5.Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
STEP 6.In the last couple of minutes of grilling, brush the reserved honey marinade over the salmon to create a glaze. Allow the glaze to caramelise slightly. Once the salmon is cooked and has a nice glaze, remove it from the grill.
Cooking Tips
Do not over-cook the salmon. It dries out quick.
Let the salmon marinate for 30 mins to absorb the flavours.
Serving Tips
Serve the salmon with fresh lemon wedges. Add parsley too and enjoy your meal.
