Instructions
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat your BBQ or grill to medium-high heat.
- Make the Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the dark brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Whisk well until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are fully blended.
- Set Aside Extra Glaze: Transfer 1 tablespoon of the glaze to a small bowl, then stir in the rice vinegar. Set this aside for later.
- Glaze the Salmon: Brush one side of the salmon steaks generously with half of the glaze from the medium bowl.
- Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon steaks on the grill, glazed side down. Grill for about 4 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly charred and the fish begins to cook through.
- Finish the Glaze: Brush the top side of the salmon steaks with the remaining glaze from the medium bowl.
- Flip and Grill: Turn the salmon over and continue grilling for an additional 5 minutes or until the second side is slightly charred and the salmon is opaque in the center.
- Serve: Transfer the grilled salmon to plates. Drizzle the reserved glaze (from the small bowl) over the salmon before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips
- For a smoky touch, consider adding wood chips to your grill while cooking the salmon.
- Pair with a light salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness of the salmon.
