Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced thinly, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper. Whisk until the ingredients are well combined to form the barbecue glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour half of the barbecue glaze over the salmon. Reserve the other half for brushing later. Let the salmon marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip the fillets carefully using a spatula and brush the remaining barbecue glaze onto the salmon.
Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
