What Is Honey Ginger Grilled Salmon? 

Fussing about making this honey ginger grilled salmon a perfection? No worries, there’s no perfect technique to make salmon unless it comes within your budget and suits your taste buds.

You can do substitutions as well according to your health requirements or availability of ingredients.

Ingredients In Honey Ginger Grilled Salmon 

Ingredients with appropriate ratios are essential to make your dish a perfection. Let’s get a breakdown of all the perfect ingredients to make honey ginger grilled salmon. 

Salmon Fillets

You can choose either wild-caught or farm-raised salmon depending upon the availability. However, I’ll be buying frozen salmon Fillets here, which I’ll defrost and then pat dry before marination.

You can buy fresh salmon Fillets as well from the fish shop nearby which will save a whole lot of time.

Note: Pat drying gives you a nice flaky texture when you bake, cook, or grill your fillets.

Ginger

Using freshly chopped ginger will give rich flavor and balance the sweet and savory notes.

Garlic

If you have garlic, then use freshly chopped garlic as it releases allicin and gives a nice texture along with many nutritional benefits.

I highly recommend you to avoid using canned garlic. However, for my convenience, I’ve used garlic powder as well, which will go well with marinade.

Honey

The glaze becomes using honey which caramelize in the grilling rack and imparts a mouth-watering sweetness to your honey ginger grilled salmon.  

Soy Sauce

As I have no obligation to avoid gluten, so I’ll use low-sodium soy sauce that will keep the salt level down but if you want to keep your savory dish gluten-free, use coconut aminos or tamari. 

Orange Juice

The acidity and tanginess in orange juice will flare up your marinade and mingle well with the sweetness of honey. 

Toppings 

As there is no hard and fast rule for recipe toppings, however, I’ll be topping it with freshly chopped spring onions. 

The ingredients used in it will make it a gourmet-inspired meal with minimal effort and tastes ravishing.

Variations In Honey Ginger Grilled Salmon 

You don’t need to be stringent with my instructions and ingredients, you can bring variations as per your convenience and preferences. Here are some substitutions you can opt for:

• You can use Tamari instead of soy sauce to keep it wheat-free.

• You can use shallots, red onions, chives, or white onions instead of green onions.

• You can use ginger powder as well if you don’t have fresh ginger.

Serving Suggestions for Honey Ginger Grilled Salmon 

You can never go wrong with any pairing. Honey ginger grilled salmon is itself a wholesome meal but the fun will elevate with any side meal you introduce. I’ll recommend you to go for a light salad or with a simple dressing. Here’s I have some recommendations for you:

• Serve it along with chopped salad with avocado sauce, a bomb side dish with enough fiber and healthy fat.

• You can pair up your honey ginger grilled salmon with corn salsa chipotle or spinach Ohitashi.
