Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp salt. Place 4 salmon fillets in a shallow dish and brush generously with the honey-soy glaze. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Step 3: Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until grill marks form and the edges begin to crisp. Flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Step 4: Meanwhile, prepare the salsa by combining 1 large diced avocado, 1 peeled and segmented medium orange, 2 tbsp finely diced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice, and 3/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Toss gently to combine.
5. Step 5: Serve the grilled salmon topped with a generous spoonful of citrus avocado salsa, allowing the bright flavors to complement the sweet glaze.
