Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them skin-side down on the preheated grill.
Step 5
Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the grill and rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
