Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, aim for approximately 375–400°F (190–204°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and glowing.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt until well combined. This will be your glaze.

Step 3

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet lightly with the prepared glaze on all sides.

Step 4

Spray the grill grates with cooking spray or lightly oil them using a paper towel soaked in oil (held with tongs) to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 5–6 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets using a spatula.

Step 6

Brush more glaze on the salmon after flipping. Cook for an additional 4–5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

Step 8

Serve the glazed grilled salmon immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad.
