The secret to a mouthwatering Honey BBQ marinated grilled salmon lies in the balance of sweet and smoky flavors. For this mouthwatering dish, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients: fresh salmon fillets, a combination of tangy honey, smokey barbecue sauce, soy sauce, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. To prepare, start by mixing the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish, then add your salmon fillets and ensure they’re fully coated.

This step is key to unlocking the full potential of this honey BBQ recipe, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
– List of necessary ingredients
To create a mouthwatering honey barbecue marinated grilled salmon, gather the following ingredients for a truly delicious dish. Start with high-quality wild-caught salmon fillets, ensuring they are thick enough to cook evenly. For the marinade, combine tangy honey, a splash of soy sauce, minced garlic, fresh ginger, and a touch of chili powder for a spicy kick (adjust to your preference). Finish with a drizzle of olive oil to enhance the flavors.
Mix the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish or resealable bag, ensuring each fillet is coated evenly. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours in the refrigerator to let the flavors penetrate deeply. This simple preparation sets the stage for a savory and glistening piece of fish that’s perfect for any occasion, showcasing the sweet and smoky essence of a honey BBQ recipe.
– Detailed steps for marinating the salmon
To create a mouthwatering Honey BBQ marinated Grilled Salmon, start by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup each of honey and soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon each of dried oregano and pepper. Set aside 1/4 cup of this mixture for basting later.
Next, place the salmon fillets (around 6 ounces each) in a non-reactive dish or plastic bag. Pour the remaining marinade over the salmon, ensuring it’s well coated on both sides. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor infusion. Before grilling, allow the salmon to come to room temperature (about 30 minutes). Brush the reserved marinade onto the salmon during the last few minutes of cooking for a glaze-like finish.
Grilling the Salmon
Grilling salmon is a simple yet impressive cooking method that brings out the natural flavors of the fish. For this dish, start by preparing your grill to achieve medium-high heat. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill grates and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the flesh becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork. It’s essential to monitor the cooking time carefully as overcooking can lead to dry salmon.
The key to successful grilling is maintaining the heat and ensuring even cooking. You can use a grill brush to remove any charred areas and prevent burning. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful, especially when marinated with our tangy honey barbecue sauce.
