Get ready to impress with this show-stopping grilled salmon recipe! Infused with a sweet and savory honey soy glaze, it's the perfect dish for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces fresh salmon fillet
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions:
1. Whip Up the Marinade:- In a small bowl, blend honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved and everything’s well mixed.
- Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Spoon some marinade over the top if using a dish.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours. Don’t overdo it—marinating too long can make the fish too salty.
- Load up the grill with FireForge Cooking Lump Charcoal. Light it up with newspaper or fire starters, leaving space for air circulation.
- Once the charcoal’s covered with a gray ash (about 15-20 minutes), you’re good to go.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F or 190-200°C).
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
- Lightly oil the grill grates or brush the salmon with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Once perfectly grilled, carefully remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices settle and enhances the flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley and a squeeze of lemon for a fresh pop of flavor.
Pro Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, brush the salmon with a bit of reserved marinade during the last minute of grilling.
- Pair your grilled salmon with grilled veggies, rice, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
