Directions

Prep 15 minCook 12 min

1
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, mustard, honey, and minced ginger until well combined.
2
Place the salmon in a small ziplock bag, pour in the glaze, and gently roll to coat the fish. Refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
3
Preheat the grill for 5 minutes. Place the salmon flesh side down on a piece of aluminum foil over medium-hot coals. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes.
4
Carefully flip the salmon over, placing the skin side directly on the grates. Discard the foil and close the grill. Continue cooking until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 to 6 minutes.
