# What You'll Need:
→ Salmon and Marinade

4 skin-on salmon fillets (approximately 170 g each)

2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
04 -
1 tablespoon honey

0.25 teaspoon black pepper
→ Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
02 -
Arrange salmon fillets, skin-side down, on a tray. Evenly distribute the marinade over the fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
03 -
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 200°C. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
04 -
Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared grill. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes without moving to achieve a clean sear.
05 -
Flip the fillets carefully using a spatula. Continue grilling for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 52°C–54°C.
06 -
Remove salmon from the grill and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
