Instructions
-
Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot and ready for cooking.
-
Glaze the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Generously glaze the skin with approximately 1 tablespoon of Tiger Sauce to infuse it with flavor.
-
Seasoning: Sprinkle a dash of cayenne pepper, garlic salt, and ground black pepper over the salmon for a kick of spice.

Cooking Time: After about 2 minutes, carefully turn the salmon using a spatula, and apply the same marinade to the meat side as you did for the skin.
-
Crisping the Skin: Allow the salmon to cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the skin becomes crispy and golden brown.
-
Final Flip: Gently flip the salmon again and let it cook for another 7 minutes. During this time, feel free to add more Tiger Sauce and seasonings to taste.
-
Check for Doneness: The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork at its thickest part, indicating it’s perfectly cooked.
-
Leftovers Idea: If you have any leftovers, transform them into a delightful salmon salad by mixing with mayonnaise, chopped onion, and a sprinkle of salt.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Plate the salmon, savoring the pure flavors, and relish in the simplicity of this beautiful dish.
