Asian Salmon

Asian salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (scallions)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onions, and cilantro. This will be the marinade for the salmon.
2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure to coat all sides. Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down, and close the grill lid. Grill for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
6. While grilling, you can brush the reserved marinade onto the salmon occasionally to add extra flavor.
7. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with additional chopped green onions and cilantro, if desired.
8. Serve the Asian grilled salmon hot, along with steamed rice or your choice of side dishes. Enjoy!

Note: You can also prepare this recipe using a grill pan or bake the salmon in the oven if you don't have a grill available. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

I hope you enjoy preparing and savoring this amazing recipe!
