This honey soy glazed salmon is one of the most crowd-pleasing salmon recipes you can make. The simple glaze of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger caramelizes on the grill, creating a sticky, lacquered finish on perfectly cooked salmon. It is sweet, savory, and impossible to resist.

Instructions

Make the glaze

Whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Set aside half for serving (do not contaminate with raw fish).

Season the salmon

Pat fillets dry. Brush skin side with oil. Brush flesh side with some of the glaze.

Grill skin-side first

Place salmon skin-side down on a well-oiled grill over medium heat (375°F). Close the lid and cook for 6-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the grate.

Glaze and flip

Brush the top with more glaze. Carefully flip and cook for 3-4 more minutes, brushing with glaze again, until salmon reaches 135°F for medium.

Pro tip: The sugar in honey burns easily — watch carefully after flipping and move to indirect heat if flare-ups occur.

Serve

Rest 2 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved clean glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Serving Suggestions

Serve over jasmine rice with steamed broccoli or bok choy. Drizzle extra glaze over the rice for maximum flavor.
