Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets skin-on, about 150–180g each
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme optional

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth and slightly glossy.
Step 2: Season the Salmon
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3: Marinate Briefly
- Brush the marinade over the salmon fillets. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4: Preheat the Grill
- Heat your grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5: Grill Skin-Side Down
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6–7 minutes without moving them.
- Step 6: Flip Carefully
- Gently flip the salmon using a fish spatula. Grill for another 3–5 minutes, depending on thickness.
Step 7: Baste and Finish
- Brush additional marinade over the salmon during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
Step 8: Rest and Serve
- Remove from grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
