A quick and easy grilled salmon recipe featuring a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze with fresh dill, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless, about 6 ounces (170g) each
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh dill. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and slightly glossy.
  2. Season the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides, including the skin side if skin-on.
  3. Marinate the fish: Place the salmon fillets in the bowl or a shallow dish and spoon the honey mustard mixture evenly over the top. Let sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. Do not marinate longer than 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the grill: Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the salmon: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to develop grill marks and opaque edges.
  6. Flip and finish: Carefully flip the salmon and grill for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 135°F (57°C).
  7. Rest and serve: Remove salmon from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Spoon any leftover glaze over the salmon before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure good sear and prevent sticking. Oil grill grates lightly to avoid flare-ups. Do not marinate longer than 30 minutes to prevent texture breakdown. Pull salmon at 135°F for medium doneness and let rest for juicy results. Marinade can be made a day ahead and stored in fridge.
