– 1/4 cup honey

Instructions
Creating the perfect Grilled Salmon with Honey Glaze involves just a few simple steps. Follow these instructions closely for the best results:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
3. Let it Marinate: Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. If short on time, even 10 minutes will enhance the flavor significantly.
4. Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
5. Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and season with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill.
6. Cook for Approximately 6-8 Minutes: Grill the salmon for about 6-8 minutes on the first side. Avoid moving it around to prevent sticking.
7. Baste and Flip: Brush some of the reserved marinade on the salmon. Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is easily flaked with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
8. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
9. Garnish and Serve: For an added touch, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Following these steps will ensure that your grilled salmon comes out perfectly every time!
