Ingredients:
- 6 salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Salmon:
- In a bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, cracked black pepper, rice vinegar, chopped cilantro, honey, hoisin sauce, green onions, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
- Rub the marinade all over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
-
Grill the Salmon:
- Once the salmon has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Place the marinated salmon fillets skin side down on the preheated grill.
- Grill for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and easily lifts from the grill.
-
Apply the Glaze:
- Carefully turn the salmon fillets over using a spatula.
- Baste the fillets liberally with the honey hoisin BBQ glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Continue to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes for medium doneness, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
-
Finish and Serve:
- Once the salmon is cooked through, carefully remove it from the grill.
- Before serving, baste the meat side of the fillets once more with the glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve the Honey Hoisin BBQ Salmon hot, garnished with additional chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
-
Oven Option:
- If you prefer, you can also cook the salmon in the oven. Simply preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the marinated salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
