Instructions
Creating Grilled Salmon w/ Citrus Glaze can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Salmon: In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Reserve a small amount of this mixture for basting later.
2. Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Clean the Grill: Use a grill brush to clean the grates and prevent sticking.
5. Season the Salmon: Remove the fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Grill the Salmon: Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes, depending on thickness.
7. Baste: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining marinade on top of the salmon for extra flavor.
8. Flip if Necessary: If you prefer grill marks on both sides, gently flip the fillets and grill for an additional 2-4 minutes.
9. Check for Doneness: The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and appears opaque.
10. Remove and Rest: Carefully remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Following these steps will ensure you prepare a perfectly grilled salmon that bursts with flavor.
