1 Ingredients

Qty Ingredient
24 oz 680 g Atlantic salmon fillets
0.25 cup 60 ml Honey
2 tbsp 30 ml Soy sauce
1 tbsp 15 ml Lemon juice
3 cloves 9 g Garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp 15 ml Olive oil
1 tsp 6 g Sea salt
0.5 tsp 1 g Black pepper

2 Method

1

Step 1. Pre-heat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat (approx. 375°F to 400°F) and lightly oil the grates.

2

Step 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the glaze.

3

Step 3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

4

Step 4. Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down. Close the lid and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes without moving them to ensure the skin becomes crispy and releases naturally from the grate.

5

Step 5. Carefully flip the fillets using a wide, flat spatula. Generously brush the grilled side with the honey garlic glaze.

6

Step 6. Cook for another 2 to 4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7. Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with any remaining glaze drizzled on top.

💡 Chef's Tips

  • ·

    Always pat your fish dry before grilling; moisture is the enemy of a good sear.

  • ·

    To prevent sticking, make sure the grill is fully pre-heated before placing the salmon down.

  • ·

    Keep the skin on during grilling to act as a heat shield, keeping the meat succulent.

  • ·

    Use a thermometer to avoid overcooking; salmon is best when it's just barely opaque in the center.

What if I don't have an outdoor grill?
You can use a cast-iron grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat for similar results.
Can I substitute the honey?
