How to Make Orange Honey Marinade For Salmon
- In a glass dish, whisk together the orange juice (1/2 cup), honey (1/4 cup), soy sauce (2 tablespoons), olive oil (1 tablespoon), Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon), minced garlic (2 cloves), grated ginger (1 teaspoon), and ground red pepper (1/4 teaspoon).
- Lightly score the salmon filets (about 4, 6-ounce filets) in a crosshatch pattern to allow the marinade to penetrate more effectively.
- Add the salmon filets to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
- Grill the salmon for 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). During the last 2 minutes of grilling, baste the salmon with the reserved marinade.
- Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Test with a fork to ensure it flakes easily.
- **Alternative Cooking Method:** For broiling, preheat your broiler. Place the marinated salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil 4-5 inches from the heat source for 4-6 minutes per side, basting with reserved marinade during the last 2 minutes, or until cooked through.
