Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray or vegetable oil (for grill or baking sheet)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Sriracha (if using). This will be your marinade and glaze.
Rinse and pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place the fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
Pour half of the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Reserve the other half of the marinade for glazing later. Cover and refrigerate the salmon for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. If baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, then lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade. Place the salmon on the grill (skin-side down if using skin-on fillets) or on the prepared baking sheet.
Cook the salmon for about 4-6 minutes per side on the grill, or 12-15 minutes in the oven, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the salmon as a glaze.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill or oven. Let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the salmon with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
