Ingredients
Scale
2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Glaze:
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika to create the glaze.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit). Lightly oil the grill grates.
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil. Place the salmon skin-side down (if using skin-on) on the hot grill.
Grill for 4 minutes without moving the fish.
Flip the salmon carefully. Brush the top side generously with half of the prepared glaze.
Continue grilling for another 4 to 6 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through the second side cooking time, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit).
Remove the salmon from the grill. Brush the tops with the melted butter immediately before serving.
Notes
For an extra rich flavor, baste the salmon with the melted butter mixture during the last minute of cooking.
If you do not have a grill, you can pan-sear the salmon in a skillet over medium heat, adding the glaze during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
Serve this salmon with a side of their famous steak fries or a fresh salad.
