Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and grated ginger until well combined.
  3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
