Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 sliced (optional, for garnish) lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring the fillets are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat or set a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.
Step 4
Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 5
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place the fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish the grilled salmon with optional lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
