A delightful twist on grilled salmon, featuring a sweet and tangy honey bourbon glaze that enhances the natural flavors of the fish.
Mix the soy sauce, honey, bourbon, garlic powder, black pepper, and olive oil in a bowl until well combined.
Ensure the honey is fully dissolved in the mixture for an even glaze.
Place the salmon fillets in a glass dish and pour the marinade over them, reserving a small portion for basting.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the salmon for 5-7 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade.
Use a fish spatula to carefully flip the fillets to avoid breaking them.
Serve the salmon hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
