Salmon

• 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

Marinade

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Optional Garnish

• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper until fully combined to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over them ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. If using charcoal, ensure coals are evenly spread to create a consistent heat source for grilling.
4. Grill the Salmon: Remove salmon from the marinade, letting excess drip off and discard leftover marinade. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, then place salmon skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side depending on thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Serve: Transfer grilled salmon fillets to serving plates. Optionally, sprinkle with dried dill and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

• Marinating the salmon for at least 30 minutes greatly enhances its flavor, but do not exceed 2 hours to avoid overpowering the fish.
• Avoid overcooking the salmon to keep it moist and tender; watch for an opaque, flaky finish as the indicator of doneness.
• Grilling imparts a delicious smoky taste which elevates the simple ingredients to a restaurant-quality meal.
• Feel free to experiment by adding fresh herbs or spices like paprika or cayenne to the marinade for personalized flavor twists.
