10 steps

What you need

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin on, about 170 g (6 oz) each
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 clove garlic, finely grated
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Whisk the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, zest, lemon juice and black pepper in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Spoon 2 tbsp of this mixture into a small dish and set it aside for glazing. It must not touch raw fish.

  3. 3

    Put the salmon in a shallow dish, pour over the rest of the marinade and turn the fillets to coat.

  4. 4

    Cover and refrigerate for 30 min. Much past an hour and the soy starts to cure the flesh.

  5. 5

    Heat the grill to medium-high, scrub the grates clean and wipe them with vegetable oil on a folded paper towel.

  6. 6

    Lift the salmon out, let the excess drip off and wipe away any bits of garlic that could scorch.

  7. 7

    Lay the fillets skin side down and grill without moving until the skin is crisp and releases easily, 4-5 min.

  8. 8

    Turn the fillets carefully and grill until the flesh is opaque and flakes at the thickest point, 2-4 min more.

  9. 9

    Brush the tops with the reserved glaze and take them off the heat.

  10. 10

    Serve with the lemon wedges.
