A quick and easy grilled salmon recipe featuring a sweet and tangy honey lime glaze, perfect for effortless summer dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 oz each
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using until smooth and slightly thick, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F). Oil the grill grates with a paper towel dipped in olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Brush a generous layer of the honey lime glaze onto the salmon fillets, especially on the skin side.
  5. Place salmon skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to develop grill marks and crisp the skin.
  6. Carefully flip the salmon using a fish spatula or tongs. Brush more glaze on the flesh side.
  7. Cook for another 3-4 minutes with the lid closed, or until salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 125°F for medium doneness.
  8. Remove salmon from grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes to seal in juices.
  9. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

Let salmon come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Dry skin thoroughly for crispy texture. Watch glaze carefully to avoid burning. Glaze can be made ahead and stored in fridge up to 3 days. For baking, cook at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, brushing with glaze halfway through.
