Categories     Kosher

Time 14m

Yield 2 serving(s)

3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
4 teaspoons prepared chinese-style hot mustard or 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 (8 ounce) salmon steaks (about 3/4-inch thick)

Steps:

  • Whisk together first three ingredients.

  • Brush 1 side of salmon steaks generously with half of glaze in medium bowl and place salmon steaks, glazed side down, onto barbecue.
  • Grill until glaze is slightly charred, about 4 minutes.
  • Brush top side of salmon steaks with remaining glaze in medium bowl.
  • Turn salmon over and grill until second side is slightly charred and salmon is just opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Transfer salmon to plates and drizzle reserved glaze in small bowl over salmon and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality salmon: Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have no signs of discoloration.
  • Use a good quality glaze: The glaze is what will give your salmon its delicious flavor and color. Be sure to use a glaze that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Cook the salmon properly: Salmon should be cooked until it is just cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Let the salmon rest: Before serving the salmon, let it rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the fish.
