Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

Make the Marinade
    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine 1 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 cloves garlic, and 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, in a large ziplock bag or a large bowl.
  2. Add 2-3 pounds fresh salmon, ensuring the fish is completely covered with the marinade. Let it marinate for 30-60 minutes. Avoid letting it marinate for longer than an hour, as fish can start to break down and become mushy after too long.
  3. Cook according to your preferred cooking method.
Different Salmon Cooking Methods
  1. Air Fryer: Spray the basket of the air fryer with pan spray and place the salmon skin side down. Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes or until the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick foil. Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Skillet: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding the salmon skin-side up. Let the salmon sear for 4-5 minutes before flipping it skin side down. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  4. Grill: Preheat the grill to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and either brush or spray with oil. Place the salmon skin side down for 6-8 minutes. When it is ready to flip, it should easily release with a fish spatula. Flip the fish and cook over indirect heat for 2-4 minutes or until the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
