This recipe brings together the tangy flavors of citrus with the warmth of ginger to create a delightful glaze for grilled salmon.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Ensure the honey is fully dissolved for a smooth glaze.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the glaze over them. Let them marinate for 20 minutes.
Marinating in the fridge helps the flavors penetrate the fish.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Use a paper towel dipped in oil to grease the grates safely.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with the reserved glaze.
Avoid flipping the salmon too often to prevent it from breaking apart.
Meanwhile, pour the remaining glaze into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Boiling the glaze ensures it's safe to use as a sauce.
Serve the grilled salmon with the thickened glaze drizzled on top and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
