My Favorite Salmon Recipe

Our family has enjoyed fresh salmon for years. When I met my husband his only connection with salmon was farm-raised, store-bought, and re-frozen fish. So, it’s no surprise that when I told him I was making Salmon for dinner that his first reaction was “No thanks.” I told him to give me a chance to win him over, and sure enough, this recipe turned him into a believer.
It is SO easy and quick! We hope you enjoy this easy meal!

• 1/3 c. honey, we like to use locally sourced honey

• 1 tbsp. Coarse Ground Black Pepper

• 3 tbsp.extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 4 6-oz. salmon fillets, patted dry with a paper towel

• 1 tsp. Garlic Salt

• 1 lemon, sliced into rounds (optional)
  
  We prefer to BBQ our salmon, but if this is not an option you may also low-broil using the same ingredients.

  -Pre-Heat BBQ grill to Med-High Heat

  Step 1
  In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, black pepper, garlic salt, and 2 tbsp. olive oil.

  Step 2

  Once your grill is ready (medium-high heat) brush the grill grate (to prevent sticking) with the remaining olive oil. Add salmon to grill skin-side DOWN and lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook salmon until deeply golden, about 6 minutes, and add the honey mixture to the top of the salmon. Continue cooking until salmon begins to ‘split' and has turned to a pink color or 120 degrees with a meat thermometer.

  Step 3

  Garnish with sliced lemon and serve.

  Step 4

  ENJOY!
