FIRECRACKER GRILLED SALMON RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Firecracker Grilled Salmon Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by june

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 (6 oz) salmon fillets
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp finely chopped garlic
2 tsp dried crushed red pepper
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp onion powder

Steps:

  • Place salmon fillets in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag. Whisk together oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, chopped garlic, dried crushed red pepper, ground ginger, sesame oil, salt and onion powder. Pour over salmon, reserving 1/4 cup mixture. Seal and chill 30 minutes. Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Remove salmon from marinade; discard marinade. Grill salmon, without grill lid, 4 to 5 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flakes with a fork, turning occasionally and basting with reserved marinade. Remove from grill and discard skin.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Salmon: Choose fresh, wild-caught salmon fillets or steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a vibrant color.
  • Prepare the Marinade: Make sure the marinade has a balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. Adjust the amount of Sriracha or cayenne pepper based on your preferred heat level.
  • Marinate the Salmon: Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This helps infuse the fish with flavor and tenderize it.
  • Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) before cooking the salmon. This ensures a good sear and prevents the fish from sticking to the grates.
  • Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets or steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make the Firecracker Sauce: While the salmon is grilling, prepare the firecracker sauce by combining mayonnaise, Sriracha, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. This sauce adds a delicious sweet and spicy kick to the salmon.
  • Serve the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked, serve it immediately with the firecracker sauce, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds. You can also serve it with steamed vegetables or rice.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, this recipe for Firecracker Grilled Salmon offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds.
