Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated fresh ginger
- 2 stalks, finely chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to create the Chinese barbecue sauce.
Set aside 2 tablespoons of the sauce in a separate bowl for basting during grilling.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill with the skin side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip carefully.
Brush the top of the salmon fillets with the reserved barbecue sauce and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish the grilled salmon with chopped green onions and serve hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice or grilled vegetables.
