Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup honey
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, orange zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- 2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
- 3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
- 4. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through.
- 5. During the last minute of cooking, brush the salmon fillets with any remaining marinade to create a glaze.
- 6. Once the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness, remove from the grill and garnish with fresh parsley.
Cooking Notes
- For a caramelized finish, you can broil the salmon for a minute after grilling.
- Make sure the grill or grill pan is well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Beer, Wine, Cocktail Pairings
- Beer Pairing: A crisp, citrusy IPA would complement the flavors of the dish.
- Wine Pairing: A light-bodied Chardonnay with citrus notes would pair beautifully with the citrus honey glaze.
- Cocktail Pairing: A refreshing Citrus Moscow Mule made with vodka, ginger beer, and a splash of fresh citrus juice would be a delightful match.
