BBQ Grilled Salmon with Honey Garlic Glaze
A delectable BBQ grilled salmon recipe featuring a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze that's perfect for outdoor grilling.
Equipment
- 1 Grill preheated to medium-high
- 1 Small saucepan
- 1 Basting Brush
Ingredients
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets skin-on
- Salt and pepper to taste
Honey Garlic Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer. Let reduce for 5-7 minutes and then remove from heat.
Grilling
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, basting with the honey garlic glaze.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F. The salmon should flake easily with a fork.
Serving
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with any remaining glaze and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Storage
- Refrigerate leftover salmon in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
