Ingredients
- Salmon fillets: 4 (6-ounce) fillets, skin on or off.
- Soy sauce: 1/4 cup, for a savory base.
- Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons, adds tang and depth.
- Honey: 2 tablespoons, balances the flavors with sweetness.
- Fresh ginger: 1 tablespoon, grated, for a zesty kick.
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced.
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons, for the marinade and grilling.
- Lemon wedges: For serving, optional.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Step 2: Marinate the Salmon
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Step 3: Preheat the Grill
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Grill the Salmon
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has grill marks. Avoid overcooking to keep the salmon moist.
Step 5: Serve the Salmon
- Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve hot.
