Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon lime zest

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, lime zest, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will be your marinade.

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it’s well coated. Cover (or seal) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

      Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a grill basket or foil, lightly oil it to prevent sticking.

        Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.

          Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip each fillet. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.

            Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute.

              Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors!
