Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, chipotle sauce, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated, then let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets on the grill. Grill for about 5-6 minutes per side.
- When the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
Don’t skip marinating; it significantly enhances the flavor. Salmon is best undercooked—aim for 125°F for perfect doneness.
