Grilled Asian Salmon

Contributed By: lbrand

Purchase center-cut salmon fillets for this recipe — thinner fillets, cut from the tail end of the salmon, can too easily overcook on the grill. Tip: Salmon skin cooks to a tasty crispiness, so keep the skin on when grilling.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Sesame oil

1 tablespoon Reduced-sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons Minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon Rice wine vinegar

2 Center-cut salmon fillets, about 5 oz each

Preparation

1. In shallow glass dish, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and vinegar. Add salmon; turn to coat. Marinate, refrigerated, for 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning occasionally.

2. Preheat grill (medium-high heat); lightly oil grill. Place fillets on grill, skin-side up. Grill about 5 minutes per side. Fish is cooked when a thin knife blade inserted in center reveals that the pink flesh is almost opaque. Serve warm.
