Instructions
- Make Marinade:
- Whisk together honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, olive oil, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Marinate Salmon:
- Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour marinade over the salmon ensuring all fillets are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).
- Prepare Grill:
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates or brush salmon lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Season Salmon:
- Remove salmon from marinade allowing excess to drip off. Season fillets with sea salt.
- Grill Salmon:
- Grill salmon skin-side down for 45 minutes. Flip carefully and grill for another 34 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve:
- Transfer to plates garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
