More About This Recipe

  • Not only does marinating salmon amp up the flavor and elevate into a “wow” entrée, but it’s really quick and easy to do. Marinating this salmon will keep it from drying out as it cooks, and the oil in the marinade will prevent it from sticking to the grill. Because the fish is already tender, it needs just 30 minutes—and no more than an hour—to absorb the sweet, complex flavors of this honey glazed salmon recipe. Before you get started making this honey soy salmon, take a few minutes to check out Betty’s guide on How to Cook Salmon which offers helpful tips on how to choose the best cut of salmon, preparation options (with helpful photos!), recipes for what to serve with your honey and soy salmon (think fresh vegetables, pasta, rice, lentils or couscous) and even the best way to store salmon leftovers.
