Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with nonstick cooking spray or a paper towel coated with oil.

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Carefully remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grilled salmon with chopped fresh parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
