Honey Soy Salmon is a delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or an impressive weekend meal. This dish features succulent salmon fillets marinated in a rich honey soy glaze, grilled to perfection for a smoky finish.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 x 150g
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, freshly grated
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
2. Place the salmon fillets in a zip-lock bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
5. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily with a fork. Brush the reserved marinade on the salmon while grilling for added flavor.
6. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute.
7. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
