Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of mustard, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of finely grated ginger. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Place the salmon fillets on a plate or in a shallow dish. Drizzle the ginger-mustard mixture over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Use a brush or spoon to help spread the glaze if needed.
- Cover the plate or dish with plastic wrap and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using a gas grill, preheat for about 10-15 minutes. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and covered with white ash.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the salmon from sticking. You can do this by dipping a folded paper towel in a small amount of oil and using tongs to rub it over the grates.
- Place the marinated salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down if applicable. Grill for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- As the salmon cooks, you can brush additional glaze over the top if desired.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Serve the ginger-mustard glazed grilled salmon hot, with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon is fresh for the best flavor. If using frozen salmon, make sure it's completely thawed before cooking.
- To enhance the flavor and ensure even cooking, let the salmon sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.
- Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the salmon in the ginger-mustard glaze for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the salmon's internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for perfect doneness.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
With its fragrant, savory-sweet glaze, this Ginger-Mustard Glazed Grilled Salmon is a delightful dish that balances flavors beautifully. Whether you're cooking for yourself or entertaining guests, this recipe is sure to impress and become a staple in your culinary repertoire.
