Asian BBQ Grilled Salmon

Instead of a sweet-and-smoky barbecue sauce, this easy salmon recipe calls for making a spicy Asian glaze. If you can't find fish sauce, feel free to just leave it out (though it does add a funkiness we love!). As for the mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine), you can substitute dry white wine or rice wine vinegar. You'll just want to stir in about a teaspoon of sugar to sweeten it a bit. Trust us, this will become your new favorite sauce. Beyond grilled salmon, you'll want to use it for just about everything—grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, or even grilled steak.

Ingredients :
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
  • Vegetable oil, for brushing
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets
  • Asian Spicy BBQ Glaze
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp. lime Zest
  • 1/2 tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic chili paste
  • 2 tbsp. mirin
  • 2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 4 tbsp. hoisin sauce
Directions :
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, garlic chili paste, ginger, lime juice and zest, and garlic powder.
  2. Preheat grill on high and brush with oil. Place salmon fillets directly on grill, skin side down, and cook, 5 minutes.
  3. Using a heavy-duty spatula, carefully flip salmon and brush with barbecue sauce. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes or until cooked through.
  4. Top salmon with more glaze, green onions, and sesame seeds to serve.
