Servings: 6

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 scallion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ cup raw honey
• 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/3 cup coconut aminos
• 6 (4-ounce) salmon fillets

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a zip lock bag, combine the chopped scallion, garlic powder, ground ginger, raw honey, fresh orange juice, and coconut aminos. Seal the bag securely.
2. Shake the bag gently to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the salmon fillets are evenly coated with the marinade.
3. Place the sealed bag in the refrigerator and allow the salmon to marinate for about 30 minutes. Remember to flip the bag occasionally to ensure even marination.
4. While the salmon is marinating, preheat your grill to medium heat. Grease the grill grate to prevent sticking.
5. Once the salmon has marinated, remove the fillets from the bag, but be sure to reserve the marinade for later use.
6. Carefully place the salmon fillets onto the preheated grill. Position them skin-side down to protect the delicate flesh.
7. Grill the salmon for approximately 10 minutes, allowing it to cook through.
8. While grilling, occasionally brush the reserved marinade onto the salmon fillets. This creates a glossy and flavorful glaze.
9. After the initial 10 minutes of grilling, continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until the salmon reaches your preferred level of doneness. The salmon should easily flake with a fork.
10. Serve your Honey Glazed Grilled Salmon hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a slice of orange if desired.

TIPS:

• Quality Salmon: Start with fresh and high-quality salmon fillets. Look for vibrant color and firm flesh.
• Marination: Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes. This step infuses the fish with the flavors of honey, orange juice, and coconut aminos.
• Medium Heat: Preheat your grill to medium heat. This ensures that the salmon cooks through evenly without burning.
• Reserve Marinade: Keep some of the marinade aside for brushing onto the salmon while grilling. This adds a delicious glaze to the fish.
