Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Brush the grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the fillets skin-side down on the grill.
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillet, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
