Ingredients

Scale

Salmon & Marinade

  • 4 salmon steaks
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes

Garnish

  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large shallow dish, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, water, sesame oil, chili sauce, minced ginger, garlic, and crushed red chili pepper flakes until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Add the salmon steaks to the marinade, turning them to ensure full coverage. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Brush a grill pan or outdoor grill grates thoroughly with oil to prevent sticking and to prepare for grilling.
  4. Grill the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon steaks on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and to your preferred doneness. While grilling, brush the salmon with the remaining marinade periodically to keep it moist and flavorful.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill, garnish generously with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Marinate the salmon for at least an hour but no more than 4 hours to avoid overpowering the fish.
  • If you don’t have a grill pan, you can use an outdoor grill or broil the salmon in the oven.
  • Adjust chili sauce and red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Use fresh salmon steaks for the best flavor and texture.
  • Garnishing with additional fresh herbs like cilantro can enhance freshness.
