Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets 5–6 oz each, skin on
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Whisk together marinade ingredients. ¼ cup honey, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon paprika
- Place salmon in a shallow dish and pour marinade over top. Marinate for no longer than 20–30 minutes. 4 salmon filets
- Preheat grill to medium heat (375-400°F). Oil grill grates well to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Place salmon skin-side down. Do not flip right away. Grill for 6–8 minutes. (Watch closely to make sure the salmon is not burning. Turn down the heat if it is getting too black.) Then flip carefully if desired and cook another 2–4 minutes. The edges should turn slightly crisp, center turn opaque and the salmon should flake in large pieces. The salmon is done when it reaches 140- 145ºF. It should flake easily with a fork.
