Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (4–6 ounces each)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- Lemon wedges for serving
Substitutions:

- Replace honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly dish.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2: Add the Garlic and Salmon
Stir in the minced garlic and place the salmon fillets in the bowl or a resealable freezer bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon and ensure the fillets are evenly coated.
Step 3: Marinate the Salmon
Seal the freezer bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate the salmon for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours. The longer the marination, the more flavorful the salmon will be.
Step 4: Grill or Bake the Salmon
For grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the salmon for 5-6 minutes on each side until opaque throughout. For baking: Preheat the oven to 425°F and bake the salmon on a lined sheet pan for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Brush the reserved marinade over the cooked salmon fillets and serve with fresh lemon wedges.

- Tip 2: For a richer taste, allow the salmon to marinate for the full 6 hours.
- Tip 3: If grilling, use a fish spatula to avoid breaking the delicate salmon fillets.
