Print Recipe

This easy and quick recipe features salmon fillets grilled to perfection with a sweet, tangy, and smoky honey mustard glaze that creates a flavorful crust and moist, flaky fish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces (170g) each
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 fresh lemon, cut into wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, and smoked paprika (if using). Set aside.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the skin crisps and the salmon starts cooking through.
  5. Carefully flip the fillets using tongs or a fish spatula. Brush the top side generously with the honey mustard glaze. Grill for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Flip the salmon back skin-side down and brush the top again with glaze. Grill for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the glaze caramelize slightly, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Check doneness: salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. If using a thermometer, aim for 125°F (52°C) for medium doneness.
  8. Remove from grill and let the fillets rest for about 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  9. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges squeezed over the top.

Notes

If glaze starts to burn, lower heat or move salmon to a cooler part of the grill. Do not overcrowd the grill for even cooking. Let salmon rest after grilling for best texture. Use a thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. For indoor cooking, use a grill pan or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes then broil for 2 minutes to caramelize glaze.
