about this recipe

few ingredients easy prep make ahead

This 5-ingredient salmon marinade produces wildly flavorful and perfectly fork-tender, flaky fillets from the oven or grill in record time! Made with a touch of honey, a drizzle of savory soy sauce, a good dose of zesty garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, you’ll never make salmon any other way again.

STEP 1:

Gather ingredients.

STEP 2:

Whisk marinade ingredients.

STEP 3:

Add half of the marinade to the salmon.

STEP 4:

Toss to coat & marinate.

STEP 5:

Bake, grill, or broil salmon.

STEP 6:

Top with reserved marinade & serve.

Since salmon is delicate, don’t marinate the fish longer than 1 hour. Save time by meal prepping the marinade up to 4 days in advance. Then, all you have to worry about is marinating and cooking the salmon the night of!
