Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F to 400°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush both sides generously with the honey mustard mixture, reserving a small amount for brushing during grilling.
Step 4
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if they have skin) on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a wide spatula and brush with the reserved honey mustard mixture. Close the lid and continue grilling for another 5-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
