Teriyaki Grilled Salmon

Teriyaki Grilled Salmon is a flavorful dish that combines the rich taste of grilled salmon with a sweet and savory teriyaki glaze. This Kosher American BBQ favorite is perfect for a summer cookout or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 pieces (150g each)
• Soy sauce (kosher) - 60ml
• Brown sugar - 2 tablespoons (30g)
• Mirin - 2 tablespoons (30ml)
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade.
2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki marinade over them, reserving the other half for glazing. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the salmon from the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes.
6. Carefully flip the salmon and brush the top with the reserved teriyaki marinade. Grill for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
