Instructions
-
Season salmon generously with salt and pepper.
-
In a small bowl whisk together the melted butter, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the sauce to brush on the salmon once finished cooking.
-
Marinade the salmon in the rest of the sauce for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Once the salmon is ready, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
-
Brush grill grates with oil. Place salmon fillets on the grill diagonally to the grill grates.
-
Grill with the lid closed for 2 to 4 minutes or depending on the thickness of the salmon 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 to 5 minutes, again depending on the thickness of the fillets. Salmon should be just barely opaque throughout when done.
-
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 to 13 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from grill.
-
Brush the tops of the salmon with reserved sauce and serve immediately with lime slices and chopped herbs, if desired.
