Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
salt and pepper to taste
⅓ cup melted unsalted butter
⅓ cup honey
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
zest from half a lime
2 crushed large cloves garlic
oil for grilling
Lime slices and chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Season 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper . In a small bowl whisk together ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter, ⅓ cup honey, 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce, 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice, zest from half a lime, and 2 crushed large cloves garlic. Reserve 1-2 tablespoons of the sauce to brush on the salmon once finished cooking.
Marinate the salmon in the rest of the sauce for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Once the salmon is ready, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

To make salmon with grill marks:

Brush grill grates with oil for grilling. Place salmon fillets on the grill diagonally to the grill grates. Grill with the lid closed for 2-4 minutes (depending on the thickness of the salmon) or until grill marks appear. Use tongs and a wide spatula, carefully turn the fish onto the other side, so that the skin side is now on the grill grates.
Close the grill lid. Cook for another 2-5 minutes, again depending on the thickness of the fillets. Salmon should be just barely opaque throughout when done.

To make salmon in foil packs (and no grill marks):

Place each piece of salmon on a piece of heavy duty foil large enough to fold over and seal. Add lime slices and drizzle with a spoonful of marinade. Wrap up salmon tightly in the foil packets.
Place the foil packets on the hot grill and cook for 10-13 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from grill.

To serve:

Brush the tops of the salmon with reserved sauce and serve immediately with Lime slices and chopped cilantro for garnish, if desired.
