- 80 mllow-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsplemon juice
- 3 tbsphoney
- 2 tbspolive oil
- 2 clovesgarlic
Method
- Mix all the marinade ingredients in a ziplock bag. Add the salmon fillets and marinate for 3-24 hours (minimum 1 hour). Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, allow excess to drain. Pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan and boil until thickened, 3-5 minutes — this will be the sauce.
- Brush the salmon fillets with oil and place skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 3 minutes, then gently flip.
- Brush the meat side with sauce, close the grill lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 50°C for medium rare. Rest for a few minutes before serving with the remaining sauce, herbs and lemon slices.
FAQ
Fish sticks when the grill is not hot enough or not well oiled. Preheat the grill for 10–15 minutes to 230–250°C, then brush the grates with a high smoke-point oil (sunflower, avocado). Place salmon skin-side down and do not move it for the first 3–4 minutes — when it is ready to flip, it will release naturally. A 2.5 cm thick piece takes 4–5 minutes per side.

Don't move the fish once it's in the pan for grilled salmon. If it sticks, it's not ready to flip — the proteins haven't released yet. When it's ready, it slides freely. Patience prevents broken fillets.
