Honey Garlic Lemon Soy Sauce Salmon ☆

(Pan-Grilled or Oven Baked)

Tender salmon fillets soaked in a bright, savory-sweet marinade made from soy sauce, honey, lemon, and garlic — then grilled to caramelized deliciousness. Perfect for weeknights or light meal prep!

Prep Time: 10 min (minus the optional marinating time)

Cook Time: 10-15 min
Serves: 1-2

Ingredients

• 1-2 salmon fillets

• 1 cup soy sauce

• 2 tbsp honey

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• 1/2 cup water

• 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated

• 1 tsp lemon juice (for extra citrus kick)

• olive oil (on pan for grilling)

Instructions

1. Make the marinade:
   In a bowl add water, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic.

2. Marinate the salmon:
   Place the raw salmon fillets in the marinade. Make sure the fillets are coated evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor. (Last step is optional)

3. Heat the pan:
   Lightly oil pan and grill salmon over medium heat. Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Optional: Pour remaining marinade into the pan during the last 1–2 minutes and simmer to form a sticky glaze.

   OR you can oven bake them at 15 minutes at 400°F instead of grilling.
   

4. Serve:
   Plate the salmon with your favorite sides. I am eating mine with white rice, kewpie mayo, wasabi, kimchi and avocado on the side.
