Grilled Honey Lime Salmon

Step 1

Season salmon generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl whisk together the melted butter, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest and minced garlic. Reserve 1-2 tablespoons of the sauce to brush on the salmon once finished cooking.

Step 2

Marinade the salmon in the rest of the sauce for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Once the salmon is ready, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 3

Brush grill grates with oil. Place salmon fillets on the grill diagonally to the grill grates. Grill with the lid closed for 2-4 minutes (depending on the thickness of the salmon) or until grill marks appear. Use tongs and a wide spatula, carefully turn the fish onto the other side, so that the skin side is now on the grill grates.

Step 4

Close the grill lid. Cook for another 2-5 minutes, again depending on the thickness of the fillets. Salmon should be just barely opaque throughout when done.

Step 5

Place each piece of salmon on a piece of heavy duty foil large enough to fold over and seal. Add lime slices and drizzle with a spoonful of marinade. Wrap up salmon tightly in the foil packets.

Step 6

Place the foil packets on the hot grill and cook for 10-13 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from grill.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the salmon with reserved sauce and serve immediately with lime slices and chopped herbs, if desired.
