A delightful grilled salmon recipe with a sweet and savory honey teriyaki glaze, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure the honey dissolves evenly.
Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Marinating the salmon longer enhances the flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates or use a grill basket.
Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
Shake off excess marinade to avoid flare-ups on the grill.
Grill the salmon for 5-7 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
Use a basting brush to apply the marinade evenly.
Meanwhile, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened.
Boiling the marinade ensures it's safe to use as a glaze.
Serve the grilled salmon topped with the thickened glaze and garnished with chopped green onions.
Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
