Instructions
Marinating Magic
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, and honey. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved.
Place the salmon fillets on a platter and generously brush them with the marinade. Make sure to coat both sides thoroughly.
Cover the platter with plastic wrap and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For an extra flavor punch, let it marinate overnight.
Grillin' and Chillin'
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat, aiming for around 375°F (190°C).
While the grill is heating up, sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of the marinated salmon fillets.
Once the grill is ready, place the salmon fillets directly on the grates. Grill each side for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until you achieve that perfect honey-glazed crust.
Use tongs to carefully flip the fillets. Don't rush – let that glorious glaze develop.
As the salmon sizzles to perfection, admire the transformation – the honey will work its magic, creating a caramelized exterior while keeping the insides moist and tender.
Plating and Final Flourish
Gently remove the honey glazed salmon from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter.
Sprinkle chopped green onions or cilantro on top for a burst of freshness and color.
