Marinade Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds salmon either 1 single portion (side of salmon) or 4 (6-ounce) fillets
  • 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup

  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation Instructions

  • Pat the salmon dry and place in a ziptop bag.
  • In a measuring cup with a spout or mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  • Pour over the top of the fish.
  • Seal the bag, removing as much excess air as you can, then set in a dish or on a plate to catch any possible drips. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
  • Cook the salmon, using your preferred method. OVEN: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and place the salmon in the center. Bake at 400°F for 11 to 14 minutes for 6-ounce fillets or 15 to 18 minutes for a single side.
  • GRILL: Place the salmon skin-side down on a HOT grill. Let cook without disturbing until the salmon releases easily with a spatula, about 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook on the flesh side, about 2 to 4 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven or grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Notes

TO STORE: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight storage container for up to 2 days. TO REHEAT: Very gently rewarm salmon in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat or in the microwave. TO FREEZE: Freeze salmon in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
