Honey Ginger Grilled Salmon

Ready in 30 minutes, this honey ginger grilled salmon is a foolproof recipe that works for dinner any night of the week. Not only is it quick and easy to make but the combination of orange juice, honey, ginger, and garlic is packed full of flavour.

There is nothing better than a quick and easy dinner idea that is packed full of flavour and this salmon recipe is exactly that. Made with a honey, ginger and soy sauce glaze, this healthy grilled salmon recipe is a staple dinner idea that creates a moist and flavorful salmon with minimal effort. Not only is salmon high in protein but it’s also a rich source of healthy fats, specifically omega-3 fatty acids, making it a fantastic addition to any well-balanced meal.

The reason I love this recipe so much is that it’s made with minimal ingredients and it’s incredibly quick to prepare. For the best results, I suggest allowing the salmon to sit in the marinade for at least an hour; however, if you’re short on time you can let it sit for 10 or 15 minutes and still create plenty of flavours.

Grilled Honey Ginger Salmon

I personally love serving this salmon with grilled sweet potatoes and a simple salad, but you can truly pair it with any side you like. Although this recipe calls for the salmon to be grilled, you could easily cook it in the oven if you prefer. Simply preheat the oven to 400°F, place the salmon and marinade in an oven-proof baking dish, and allow it to cook for 20 minutes or until the salmon can be flaked with a fork. This honey ginger salmon recipe calls for soy sauce, however, you could certainly use tamari or coconut aminos if you wanted to make it gluten-free.

• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/2” inch fresh ginger, grated
• 1 clove garlic, grated
