Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to form the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down in a shallow dish and pour half of the glaze over them, reserving the rest for basting. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a woodfire grill to medium heat (around 375°F). Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes. Brush with reserved glaze once, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily.
  5. Step 5: Remove salmon from grill and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.

How do I store leftover Woodfire-Grilled Honey Soy Glazed Salmon?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep 6 oz each salmon fillets from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Woodfire-Grilled Honey Soy Glazed Salmon?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Woodfire-Grilled Honey Soy Glazed Salmon for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
