Step 1
Start by mixing together the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of pepper in a bowl to make the marinade. Place your salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them, making sure they’re well coated. Cover the dish and pop it in the fridge for about an hour to let the flavors soak in. When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to medium and give the grates a quick brush with oil so the fish doesn’t stick. Toss out the marinade that was sitting with the salmon, then grill the fillets, brushing them with the reserved marinade a few times while they cook. It should take around 4 to 6 minutes, and you’ll know it’s done when the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the rich flavor of salmon with a sweet and sticky honey glaze. It’s quick to make and feels special without much effort. The balance of savory and sweet makes it a favorite for both weeknights and dinner guests.
How to serve
Serve with steamed vegetables or a light salad to balance the richness. A side of rice or quinoa works well to soak up any extra glaze. Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges for added brightness.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying out the fish. It’s best eaten fresh but can also be enjoyed cold in salads.
