Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the honey marinade over the salmon, ensuring that each fillet is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

      Preheat the Grill or Oven: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).

        Cook the Salmon:

          - Grilling Method: Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

            - Oven Method: Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, brushing once or twice with remaining marinade until the salmon is cooked through and slightly caramelized on the top.

              Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill or oven. Let it rest for a minute. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley (if using) before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve the honey glazed salmon with steamed vegetables, a side of rice, or your favorite salad.
