Categories     main-dish

Time 34m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 side fresh salmon, boned but skin on (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons good soy sauce
6 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking.
  • While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits.
  • Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

ASIAN SALMON



Asian Salmon image

This is very quick to prepare; I have marinated the salmon for as little as 1/2 an hour, yet it has plenty of flavor. For ease of preparation, we buy individually portioned salmon from a big-box store. We prefer to grill it on our indoor contact because it's SO quick. I've used straight brown sugar, Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, and straight Splenda - and they all work very well. But I think the brown sugar or the brown sugar blend will give you a little better color.

ASIAN MARINADE FOR SALMON



Asian Marinade for Salmon image

A great marinade for salmon filets using delicious Asian flavors of ginger, soy, sesame and honey.Makes enough marinade for 6-7 individual salmon filets or a large whole salmon filet.

Provided by Susie Weinrich

Categories     Sauce

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Fresh Salmon
1/3 cup (scant) Soy sauce
1/4 cup Honey
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp fresh ginger (grated or minced)
2 tsp unseasoned rice vinegar
2 large garlic cloves (minced )
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (more for spicier salmon and sauce)
toasted sesame seeds, green onions, lime wedges, cliantro

Steps:

  • Mix all the marinade ingredient together.
  • Place in a shallow glass container or plastic baggie (Ziplock).
  • Lay the salmon in the marinade, flesh side down if you are using skin on salmon. Spoon the marinade over the fish to coat.
  • Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temp.- individual salmon filets can marinate for 30 minutes up to an hour.- whole salmon filet can marinate for up to 2 hours.I do not reccommend exceed 4 hours as the salmon will begin to break down and become mushy.
  • Pull the salmon out of the marinade.RESERVE THE REMAINING MARINADE, it makes a delicious serving sauce (see directions below)!
  • Cook the salmon in your preffered method. (oven, stove top, foil, grill, air fryer...)

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Opt for fresh, wild-caught salmon whenever possible. Fresh salmon should have a firm texture and bright pink or orange color.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is key to infusing flavor into the salmon. Be generous with the ingredients and allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
  • Cook the salmon properly: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. Bake, grill, or pan-sear the salmon until it is cooked through but still moist. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Salmon pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad.
