Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 0.25 cups honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks green onions (thinly sliced, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, and black pepper to create the glaze.

Step 2

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish and pour half of the glaze mixture over the fish. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting. Marinate the fish for 15–20 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375–400°F). Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Discard the used marinade.

Step 5

Grill the salmon for 4–5 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip using a wide spatula. Brush the reserved glaze over the top of the fillets while they cook on the second side.

Step 6

Cook for another 3–5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2–3 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
