This ginger glaze is really wonderful on salmon, but equally delicious on swordfish, halibut, tuna, or any other firm, full-flavored fish.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 (8 ounce) fresh salmon fillets

  • salt to taste

  • ⅓ cup cold water

  • ¼ cup seasoned rice wine vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)

  • 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

  1. Preheat and outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season salmon fillets with salt.

  2. Cook salmon on the preheated grill until easily flakes with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes per side.

  3. Combine water, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, chili paste, ginger, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until barely thickened, about 2 minutes.

  4. Sprinkle basil on top of salmon; spoon glaze over top.

Tip

Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
