Grilled Soy Ginger and Honey Salmon
Delicious salmon with umami glaze
Ingredients
- 2 filets Salmon
Marinade
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup creamed honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ginger peeled, grated
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
Make Marinade
- In a medium pot over medium-low heat, combine the ingredients until the honey dissolves and is well incorporated.1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/3 cup creamed honey, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp ginger, 3 cloves garlic
- Once combined, allow this marinade to cool in the refrigerator.
Marinate Salmon
- Before putting the fish in the marinade, reserve 1/3 cup to make a glaze later.
- Take salmon filets and place flesh side down in the marinade.
- Allow the salmon to marinate for 15-30 minutes at most.
Get Grill Ready and Cook Fish Indirect
- Get your grill to roughly 225F. If using a charcoal grill, setup a 2 zone fire.
- Place fish on the grill - in the indirect zone - skin side down.
- Allow fish to cook until your desired doneness - I prefer 135F.
- Once it reaches 135F take off the grill.
Make Your Glaze
- Take the reserved marinade liquid and put into a medium-pot.
- Over medium-low heat, reduce for 3-5 minutes - stirring continuously to ensure the sugars don't burn from the honey.
- Once reduced, take glaze and pour over cooked salmon. Use a basting brush to spread evenly across the filets. Then enjoy!
Notes
Cooking times heavily depend on how big your fish is. My salmon was small filets of around 1-1.5 inch thickness.
If you're using a probe thermometer or instant read thermometer, probe from the side, not from the top.
Probing from the top will cause albumin to leak and ruin your presentation side.
