Grilled salmon is a classic dish that combines the rich flavors of salmon with the smoky essence of grilling. Here’s how to prepare a mouthwatering grilled salmon:
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 oz each
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill), for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each fillet is well coated. Cover or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Salmon:
- Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill.
- Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Avoid moving the salmon around too much to get nice grill marks and to prevent sticking.
- Cook until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the grilled salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets and garnish with fresh herbs.
- Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Enjoy your perfectly grilled salmon with its caramelized exterior and tender, flaky interior, showcasing the wonderful flavors of the marinade and the grill. It’s a delightful dish that’s perfect for any occasion!
