# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Combine honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, olive oil, and black pepper in a bowl and whisk until blended.
02 - Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour marinade over them. Ensure all fillets are evenly coated. Refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes, up to 1 hour for enhanced flavor.
03 - Heat grill to medium-high and oil grill grates or brush salmon with olive oil to prevent sticking.
04 - Remove fillets from marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then season with sea salt.
05 - Place salmon on grill skin-side down and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip carefully and grill another 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through and flaky.
06 - Transfer salmon to plates, garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley, and accompany with lemon wedges.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Sweet and tangy honey-ginger glaze
  • Perfectly caramelized grilled salmon
02 -
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness
  • Marinating longer intensifies flavor but don't exceed 1 hour to avoid fish texture changes
03 -
  • Brush salmon with reserved marinade during last minute of grilling for extra caramelization
  • Serve with steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal
