Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons Horseradish (prepared)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then brush both sides with olive oil. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, horseradish, honey, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper to make the tiger sauce. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Close the grill lid and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving the fillets to allow the skin to crisp.

Step 5

Carefully flip the salmon using a fish spatula and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Serve the grilled salmon with a generous drizzle of tiger sauce on top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
