Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | Salmon fillets |
| 2 | Honey |
| 1/4 | Ketchup |
| 1/2 | Worcestershire sauce |
| 1 | Lemon juice |
| 2 | Fresh dill |
| 1 | Ginger |
| 2 | Fresh coarse ground black pepper |
| 1/8 | Olive oil (for rubbing) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. Meanwhile, rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated.
-
Prepare the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice, finely chopped fresh dill, grated ginger, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir the ingredients until well combined, creating a luscious honey BBQ glaze that’s bursting with flavor.
-
Grill the Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets directly onto the preheated grill, skin-side down, and close the lid. Grill for approximately 5 to 8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. While grilling, generously baste the salmon with the prepared honey BBQ glaze, ensuring it’s fully coated and caramelizing beautifully.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the salmon is perfectly grilled and glazed, carefully remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter. Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining honey BBQ glaze over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs and lemon wedges for a vibrant presentation.
