"Indulge in this succulent grilled salmon featuring a perfect balance of floral honey and pungent garlic. The glaze caramelizes into a sticky, golden crust over the open flame, resulting in a restaurant-quality meal that is both healthy and incredibly flavorful."

Ingredients

Qty Item
4 units Salmon fillets (6-oz each)
1/4 cup Honey
2 tbsp Soy sauce (low sodium)
1 tbsp Lemon juice (fresh)
3 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 tbsp Olive oil
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)

How to Make Honey Garlic Glazed Grilled Salmon

1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F) and lightly oil the grates.

2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.

3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.

4

Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Close the lid and grill for 6 to 8 minutes.

5

Generously brush the honey garlic glaze over the top of the salmon. If you prefer a charred finish, carefully flip the salmon and grill for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or simply leave skin-side down until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

6

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 3 minutes.

7

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra glaze if desired.


Tips for Best Results

  • ·

    Use a clean, well-oiled grill to prevent the delicate fish skin from sticking to the grates.

  • ·

    Leave the skin on the salmon while grilling as it provides a protective layer and keeps the meat moist.

  • ·

    For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey garlic glaze.

  • ·

    Avoid overcooking; salmon is done when it just begins to flake easily with a fork and is slightly translucent in the center.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?
Yes, but ensure it is completely thawed and patted very dry to ensure the glaze sticks and the skin crisps.
What should I serve with honey garlic salmon?
This pairs beautifully with roasted asparagus, steamed jasmine rice, or a fresh cucumber salad.
Can I make this in the oven?
Absolutely. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, brushing with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the fish.
