Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fresh grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, and lime juice to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the salmon is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the leftover marinade and transfer it to a small saucepan.
Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork and is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
While the salmon cooks, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in the saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes to use as a glaze.
Once the salmon is cooked, brush the glaze over the fillets and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve the grilled soy ginger salmon with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
