Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the salmon. Ensure the salmon is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Close the lid and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking.

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two. Transfer to a serving platter.

Step 7

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish like grilled vegetables or rice.
