Ingredients
PreparationIngredients
- 1 side fresh, wild salmon, 2 to 3 pounds, skin on Add to list
- 6 cloves garlic, minced Add to list
- 1/4 cup soy sauce Add to list
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil Add to list
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds Add to list
- 1/4 cup brown sugar Add to list
- 3 green onions, finely chopped Add to list
- 1 teaspoon (or more to taste!) wasabi paste Add to list
Preparation
Remove the pin bones from the salmon. (A pair of small needle nosed pliers works well for this.)
Combine the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, brown sugar, green onions and wasabi paste. Spread this mixture generously on top of the salmon fillet. (At this point you may refrigerate the salmon for up to 6 hours.)
Preheat your grill to high and place the salmon, skin side down, on the grate. Cover the grill and cook the salmon until it is just done, about 12 to 15 minutes. To check for doneness, slip a small knife into the center and pull apart the layers. If the flesh has become mostly opaque, the fish is done.
To serve: Scoop the fillet from the skin and transfer to a serving platter. Discard the skin. Garnish with limes and basil or cilantro sprigs.
