Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and olive oil until well combined.

2. Marinate the Salmon

Place the salmon (skin-side down) in a large dish or tray.
Pour the marinade evenly over the top.
Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.

3. Preheat the Grill

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F / 190–200°C).
Brush grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

4. Grill the Salmon

Place salmon skin-side down on the grill.
Close the lid and cook for 12–18 minutes, depending on thickness.
Avoid flipping — the skin helps protect the fish and keeps it moist.

Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

5. Garnish & Serve

Carefully remove from grill.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve immedia
