Grilled Teriyaki Salmon
Grilled Teriyaki Salmon is a delicious and flavorful dish that’s perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Here’s a simple recipe to make Grilled Teriyaki Salmon:
Ingredients:
– 4 salmon fillets
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon grated ginger
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons water
– Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let the teriyaki sauce cool.
3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon, reserving the other half for later. Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes. Brush the salmon with some of the reserved teriyaki sauce.
6. Carefully flip the salmon fillets and continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Brush with more teriyaki sauce while grilling.
7. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
8. Serve the Grilled Teriyaki Salmon hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Drizzle with any remaining teriyaki sauce before serving.
