Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Peanut butter (creamy)
- 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Brush the salmon fillets lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the peanut hoisin sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and water.
Simmer the sauce gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Plate each salmon fillet and generously drizzle the warm peanut hoisin sauce over the top.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a citrusy finish.
Enjoy your Grilled Salmon with Peanut Hoisin Sauce!
