Description

This easy salmon marinade recipe is perfect for adding incredible flavor to your fish. It’s quick to prepare with common ingredients, making it ideal for weeknight meals or special occasions. You can use this marinade for grilling, baking, or pan-searing salmon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. This creates your flavorful salmon marinade.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour the prepared salmon marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  4. Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
  5. Remove salmon from the marinade, discarding any excess liquid.
  6. Cook salmon using your preferred method: grill, bake, or pan-sear.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweet profile.
  • Ensure you don’t marinate the salmon for too long, as the acid in the lemon juice can start to ‘cook’ the fish.
