Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons red chili paste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a small bowl, prepare the hot red sauce by mixing together red chili paste, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a nice char.
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a platter.
Drizzle the prepared hot red sauce generously over each salmon fillet.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
Enjoy your Grilled Salmon with Hot Red Sauce while it's hot!
