Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme

Method
 

  1. Combine minced garlic, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Whisk until completely smooth, creating a glossy glaze. Set aside for the grill.
  2. Pat salmon fillets completely dry using paper towels—this step ensures crispiness. Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper in a small ramekin for easy access.
  3. Season each salmon fillet generously on both sides with the spice blend. Let fillets sit at room temperature for 5 minutes while your grill preaches to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F).
  4. Oil your grill grates thoroughly to prevent sticking, then place salmon skin-side up. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the top of each fillet. Grill for 8-9 minutes without moving the smoky tender grilled salmon honey garlic, allowing a beautiful crust to form.
  5. Carefully flip fillets and brush with remaining glaze on the flesh side. Continue grilling for 7-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the glaze caramelizes beautifully.
  6. Transfer salmon to a serving platter and drizzle any pan juices over top. Finish with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley for brightness and color.
