Unlock juicy, flavorful salmon! This marinade recipe blends soy, honey, & Dijon for a sweet & savory finish. Dairy-free & perfect for grilling or baking.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds salmon (1 side or 4 fillets)
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Dry salmon: Prepare the salmon by patting it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the marinade stick better.
2. 2Whisk marinade: Create the marinade by whisking together olive oil, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined.
3. 3Seal bag: Marinate the salmon by placing it in a zip-top bag and pouring the marinade over it. Seal the bag tightly after squeezing out the air.
4. 4Marinate: Let the salmon marinate. For best results, marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.
5. 5Cook salmon: Cook the salmon to perfection. If using an oven, bake at 400°F until it reaches the desired doneness. For grilling, cook on a hot grill until the salmon is cooked through and rests easily.
